Over the past four decades, the biggest shift from small to big was in the United States and Europe, where ownership is in fewer hands and even individual farmers work under strict contracts for retailers, trading conglomerates and investment funds. Ward Anseeuw, senior technical specialist at the International Land Coalition, joined Pat to discuss the stark findings.
