- Agriculture and Development [PDF, 890KB]
A summary of the International Assessment on Agricultural Science and Technology for Development, April 2008. This report, led by Robert Watson, involved 400 scientists and NGOs and took four years to complete. It argues that the current system of food production and the way food is traded around the world has led to unequal distribution of benefits and adverse ecological effects. The report further argues that genetically modified (GM) technology is not a quick fix to feed the world's poor and that growing biofuel crops for automobiles threaten to increase malnutrition globally.

International Forum on Globalization, April 2007. This report reviews the current state of play in the global production of food, its distribution, and some of the main social and ecological effects of this model of production; explains some of the components of the current architecture of the system, the WTO agreements, and their common practices, and reveal how they inherently bring about inequity, social and cultural breakdown, and environmental harm on a massive scale; and offers some specific proposals to help achieve food and fiber systems that ensure food security and self-reliance, maintain the integrity of livelihoods, local cultures and communities, and that preserve natural resources.
