Does corporate agribusiness have a positive role in global food and water security?

摘要

This note is in response to the article by Sojamo et al., "Virtual Water Hegemony: The Role of Agribusiness in Global Water Governance", in the March 2012 issue of Water International. At the outset, I would like to submit that the analysis provided by the authors is extremely valuable in terms of how the political economy of global agribusiness and food trade is changing, with the rising economies of the East taking over the more rooted, Western agribusiness corporations.
