Report: UN Right to Food Report cites corporate concentration as a cause of hunger
In October, a United Nations investigation team called for a global monitoring system to stop food companies from using their market power to violate human rights. Headed by Swiss sociologist Jean Ziegler, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food presented an interim report to the UN General Assembly which states "that it is now time to develop binding legal norms that hold corporations to human rights standards and circumscribe potential abuses of their position of power." The report recommends that governments take greater responsibility for monitoring the behavior of food companies, because "corporations are exerting increasing control over the production and provision of both food and water."
We have received many requests for translations of The Meatrix and international action pages to help people around the world find sustainable local food! Many people have been interested in versions of the movie with the audio in various languages, but unfortunately because of the costs associated with such a project, we are not able to create translated movies beyond a few. However, if you would like to help us translate scripts, we can post dialogue in many languarges on this site in text documents. If you are intereseted in helping to create further language translations , or have information about sustainable agriculture in your country, please email leo@themeatrix.com.
