Quoted: Raj Patel on industrial agriculture

From Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World's Food System:

"To turn agribusiness loose on organic food is to legitimate their rule, to concede that no kind of food system is possible without their participation, just as to choose between high-pesticide farming or GM farming is to admit that, either way, the pesticide companies are part of our food system. But there have always been alternatives.

Corporations can only comprehend the potentially radical call for sustainable agriculture as customer demand for processed food grown with fewer pesticides. This sets at zero the importance of social relations through which the food is produced, and the politics that permits these relations.”
