Creating a new pathway to global systemic transformation from the ground up

As the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum in Sri Lanka draws to a close, it’s exciting to reflect on the fact that this country - inhabited and loved by its people from coast to coast, and home to some of the world’s most biodiverse, verdant and abundant forests, rivers and wetlands - is also poised to become the birthplace of a new global meta-movement of social movements committed to bringing health and vitality back to the planet’s communities, countries and climate.

ETC Group reinvigorates its quest to track emerging technologies and scrutinise corporate concentration

Enviado por Ronnie Hall el

Following its 2025 AGM, ETC Group’s Board and Staff met for four days in Madrid, in early August, to build a new plan of action, laser-focused on challenging corporate concentration and tech ‘broligarchy’ chauvinism

We see a gathering tsunami of emerging (and converging) corporate technologies being super-charged by increasingly rapid developments in digital/AI, bioengineering and geoengineering technologies. The new corporate constellation of a few men with vast personal wealth operating within the existing hegemonic capitalist financial system is also being used to influence key governmental policy-making spaces, sidelining democratic processes and excluding civil society.

African countries unanimously reject Solar Radiation Management

African ministers made history in Nairobi today, at the 20th Ordinary Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN), when they agreed to a text forcefully rejecting SRM and calling for a solar geoengineering Non-Use Agreement.

This is a huge win for Africa! The text was adopted without any challenge from African countries.

Top 10 des géants de l'agrobusiness : la concentration des entreprises dans l'alimentation en l'agriculture en 2025

Enviado por Ronnie Hall el

Ce rapport, co-publié avec GRAIN, met à jour le classement des entreprises qui ont atteint un contrôle sans précédent sur l’alimentation industrielle.
Dans ce rapport, nous dressons un état des lieux de la concentration des entreprises dans six secteurs essentiels à l’agriculture : semences commerciales, pesticides, engrais de synthèse, machines agricoles, produits pharmaceutiques vétérinaires et génétique animale. La concentration économique s'est renforcée dans la majorité de ces secteurs, dont quatre – semences, pesticides, machines agricoles et produits pharmaceutiques vétérinaires – répondent à la définition d’un oligopole, puisque quatre entreprises y détiennent plus de 40 % du marché.

À travers ce livret, nous encourageons une évolution des mentalités vers l'idée que toute technologie est politique.

Enviado por Ronnie Hall el

Our updated research, co-published with GRAIN, shows how a handful of agribusiness corporations have consolidated unprecedented control over the world's food supply, with devastating consequences for farmers, consumers and the planet.

Today, a handful of agribusiness corporations have consolidated unprecedented control over the world's food supply, with devastating consequences for farmers, consumers and the planet. This new report by ETC Group and GRAIN reveals just how extreme this corporate control has become. It examines the state of corporate concentration in six sectors critical to agriculture: commercial seeds, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, farm machinery, animal pharmaceuticals and livestock genetics.
