Todhunter, who knows India very well having lived in the country for a number of years, gives us an illustration of how neoliberalism works its magic to plunder a country for the benefit of transnational corporations while leaving many people in dire poverty.
The long-term plan is for an urbanised India with a fraction of the population left in farming working on contracts for large suppliers and Wal-Mart-type supermarkets that offer highly processed, denutrified, genetically altered food contaminated with chemicals and grown in increasingly degraded soils according to an unsustainable model of agriculture that is less climate/drought resistant, less diverse and unable to achieve food security. This would be disastrous for farmers, public health and local livelihoods.
