"The report confines itself to describing the problem of falling agricultural incomes because it wants to hide the causes that generate the problem, reduce agricultural incomes and decimate the income of the working and grassroots family with rocketing food prices. Surprisingly, it barely mentions the fact that energy, fertilisers, plant health products, water, seeds, fodder and so on belong to and are controlled by international monopolies, which set the prices and negate the effort made by farmers and working consumers, in order to increase their profits. Subsidised EU programmes promote the concentration of land in large farm holdings within the framework of the CAP and its reform post-2013. The privatisation of water is making it more expensive to use; the same applies to increased charges and prices for energy. The report supports the EU CAP, which is a disaster for farmers of poor and medium-sized holdings, and promotes the ‘competitiveness’ of farming in the EU, which means the concentration of land in large capitalist undertakings and the mass expulsion of poor farmers from their fields. The only way forward for farmers of poor and medium-sized holdings is to fight the CAP and all the EU’s anti-grassroots policies, to join forces with the working class and urban freelancers, and to bring about a radical change in power and the economy."@en1
