“So in all of this, I think that one of the big calls has been to relocalize food systems, and to use the COVID crisis as a moment to show that the extended and long supply chains of transnational capital, the reliance on a biotechnology and seed and chemical inputs – these are the causes of vulnerability in the food system, rather than the solution.”

Ruth Hall explained how land grabbing and expansion of extractives and financialization is happening, how agriculture and food systems are profoundly impacted during COVID, and the very enormous struggles right now around contesting what recovery looks like, and what is the recovery.

Ruth Hall, from Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), University of the Western Cape, South Africa, spoke at the People’s Forum on BRICS webinar on the “Agriculture and BRICS: Reforms and Resistance”, held on 21 October 2021.
