Multinationals have taken control of Britain’s transport, energy and water: now land is the target

Colchester Council Watch, ‘keeps an eye’ on the council’s ‘doings’. On its website Rachel Mathews, a community film maker, interviews Sandi Adams about her research into the impact UN agendas are having on British farmers (15m video).

The UN Global Compact is committed to work with governments, business, academia and civil society to galvanize the sound policies, actions and leadership to create inclusive, resilient and sustainable agriculture and food systems that deliver for people, planet and prosperity.

The UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), with the support of bodies like the World Economic Forum, engages the foremost political, business and cultural leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas with sponsors including Bill and Melinda Gates and two banks on a Global Innovation Platform, with an interest in Agritech.

Points made in the Colchester Council Watch farming crisis video

Ministry officials have visited farmers offering subsidies which are conditional on them cutting sheep, beef and dairy production and setting up businesses on their land.

In North Somerset this agricultural land is to be used for renewable energy generation

This map with the areas marked below. was taken off the council website after Sandi Adams highlighted these plans.

Businesses to be set up on farmland include:

• Controlled Environment Agriculture includlng vertical farming, aquaponics, aeroponics and hydroponics, growing undercover below LED lights & using robots.
• GMO crops
• Large-scale farming with drones spraying and fertilising and heavy machines impacting soil
• Swathes of land covered with solar panels which are vulnerable to hailstines and – as storms become more violent – the damage seen in Nebraska (below).

• Developing insect biomass; insects are rich in proteins and nutrients (Science Direct). High profit margin insect meal in Europe and the UK is largely restricted to the petfood sector, but could become a sustainable food source. addressing potential food shortages and environmental concerns.

Fears are expressed that degree-only corporate large-scale agritech farming, pioneered in North and West Yorkshire will become the norm – and even that it will be state-controlled.
