Quick facts about agriculture:

Ten corporations control nearly 70 percent of the world's seed market. This corporate control of agriculture means farmers have less choice.

Industrial polluting agriculture uses synthetic fertilizers and toxic chemicals which pollute our water and soils – the very things we need in order to provide healthy food now and in the future.
Excessive use of synthetic fertilizers in industrial polluting agriculture contributes to climate change.
