Agribusiness and the State. The Case of the United States.
Although US government ideology emphasizes the separation of government and business, the State is deeply involved in promoting the interests of US transnational corporations abroad and in transforming Third World food systems to suit American needs. Three cases are examined: OPIC, the agency providing Stateguaranteed insurance and other services for American agribusiness investment in developing countries; OICD, concerned with agricultural research as well as training of Third World nationals and biased towards capital-intensive methods, finally, the State-supported private agricultural trade associations that persue the goal of higher sales and of food-system transformations for attaining them (including the corn-soya animal-feeding model). All three increase agricultural and food dependency in less developed countries.
