Does anyone have any good experiences or case studies in the vein of what happened with Cargill in The Philippines, concerning transformation from traditional agricultural practices to western-style mechanized/industrial agriculture, using high capital inputs, and hybrid seeds instead of indigenous varieties? Any examples where this was a positive transformation or where it was a negative transformation?Thor Skov
