Why are the FAO and the EBRD promoting the destruction of peasant and family farming?

Social organisations say they are
shocked and offended by a Wall Street Journal article written by the Director
General of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation and the President of the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development which calls on governments and
society to embrace corporations as the main engine for global food production.
In a collective statement, the groups say the FAO is abandoning its mission by
promoting the destruction of peasant farming and land grabbing by agribusiness.
