GM crops, flawed arguments,flawed ethics.

The photographs on this blog are a record of late twentieth/early twenty first century agricultural landscapes in the UK. Big agribusiness corporates and the government wish to change the face of agriculture, and in the process this will mean the destruction of the environment, eco systems, wildlife habitats and will pose a threat to human health.

Brutal corporate pressure is forcing farmers throughout the world to abandon the tradition of thousands of years of farming practice, (using crop seeds which are best for their regions), and to replace this genetic diversity with the reductive and dangerous GM seeds, which they are left with no choice but to buy.
In Europe we have been given an opportunity to resist this pressure, but for how long, because the pressure is unrelenting?

In each of these photographs we can see the varied landscape elements which each contribute their own function within agriculture. The circles of woodland in the middle of fields, and buffer zones of grass around the fields provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. The borders are also vital buffers between sprayed crops and paths and homes. These are elements which are already being destroyed to use every last square inch for the growing of biofuels, as well as food.
