Spanish to English: Agribusiness expansion in Latin America General field: Other Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - Spanish La expansión de los agronegocios en América Latina se caracteriza por una cierta homogeneización del paisaje y de la comida a que tienen acceso sobre todo las personas pobres de las ciudades; una simplificación del pensamiento y del manejo de la agricultura; la concentración del control sobre territorios, insumos productivos y fuerza de trabajo; y la mercantilización de la naturaleza. Este proceso implica costos ambientales, sociales y económicos que los pagan sobretodo las poblaciones desplazadas, contaminas por el uso de agrotóxicos, y todas aquellas que no tienen garantizado su derecho al agua, salud o educación, mientras el Estado invierte en obras de infraestructura y financiación directa a bajo costo par los agronegocios.
Translation - English The agribusiness expansion in Latin America is characterised by a certain uniformity in the scenery and the food that, in particular, the urban poor have access to; simplification in the way of thinking and handling agriculture; concentration of power over land, production inputs and the labour force; and the commodification of nature. This process entails environmental, social and economic costs which are paid particularly by displaced persons from areas contaminated by the use of pesticides, and by all those who do not have a guaranteed right to water, health or education, while the State invests in low-cost direct finance and infrastructure work for agribusinesses.
