Compelling talk on how trade agreements wreck peoples livelihood.  This is 30 minute- talks about genetic modified seeds- and a land grab.

It is true and expected; commodities and land are the favorite investments.
"I'm convinced that farmland is going to be one of the best investments of our time. Eventually, of course, food prices will get high enough that the market probably will be flooded with supply through development of new land or technology or both, and the bull market will end. But that's a long ways away yet." - George Soros, June 2009

Food supply will increase. The problem is what to with people who have lost the source of income.  The piracy can be understood: it annoys global trade but it is a result of the trade policies itself.
