The French radical farmers union Confédération Paysanne, with its charismatic leader Jos Bov, has led the world in demonstrating the possibility of a socially progressive future for farming. Rejecting the increasing intensification and industrialisation of agriculture, the Confédération has argued for the need for local food production by small, independent farmers - both for the sake of the quality of the food we consume and to support the kind of societies we want to live in. Demonstrates how the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy and now the WTOs Agreement on Agriculture are both designed to encourage an increasingly free-market, profit-maximising, destructive agriculture.
