    Resource Type: Book
    This is a far reaching analysis of a global food company that now has 800 locations in over 60 countries and more than 50 lines of business. Cargill, the "Jolly Green Giant" does not only make profits from food production but also from money speculation and the futures market. Kneen shows how this international conglomerate has become a de facto agent of U.S. foreign policy. It enforces its economic power not by using invading forces but by sending "agents" who act as benevolent food suppliers to the hungry. He explains how they use vague promises of establishing a plant and the use of large amounts of public money to finance it. In his final chapter he argues that its weakness is a direct result of its strength-it has an unquenchable appetite for growth which will eventually lead to local resistance. To illustrate his point he draws on analogies from colonial occupires and their fate. To further illustrate this he docments the growing small scale diversified agriculture and local self-help develpment food systems.
