The company Syngenta is selling fertilizer and deals with seeds (!). Because farmers are insolvent of these yearly unnecessary expenses, Syngenta is starting bartering, seeds against harvest.

The engagement of these companies result in monocultures, which forces farmers to more expenses to cover their needs. Companies like Syngenta provide a food security of somewhere around 60%.

Free and educated farmers reach a food security of over 80%. 100% means that salt or coffee has to get imported, soils and climate always limits the full supply.

The performance of free farmers is bigger as companies like Syngenta whose product marketing in western medias sells their engagement as life saving, green revolution, no more famine.

Farmers are in fact desperate, insolvent, kill them self about the pressure. Mack, CEO of Syngenta doesn't look like he would care about that.
