  In the land of junk food, agriculture is controlled by two magic words: productivity and profitability. We investigate the excesses of American agribusiness.<br><br>America’s two million farmers are formidable businessmen. XXL farms, feedlots and pesticides: anything goes when producing more and more. In the cattle feedlots in the Midwest, animals are herded by the thousands into pens without a single blade of grass, fattened up and drugged with growth hormones. These are industrial methods pushed to the extreme.<br><br>Every year, the country’s farmers gather at the Farm Machinery Show in Kentucky, the apex of the US agriculture industry. There, one can find million-dollar tractors and a show that fans wouldn’t miss for the world: the tractor race is the most prestigious in the country. In California, we investigate the gigantic plantations where carrots, artichokes and strawberries are grown. With a desperate shortage of water, farmers wat at breakneck speed, even if it means depriving the region’s inhabitants of access to drinking water.<br><br>An investigation into the excesses of American agribusiness.

  We have strict rules in Finland, no hormones and no diseases, which is why US chicken or beef cannot be imported.

  We are fast approaching a time when the only way to be certain of what you eat is if you grow it or raise it yourself .

  Doubled their yield while delivering less than half of the nutrition and 10x the cancer, Monsanto&apos;s death seeds for profit and control.<br>Then feed that GMO poison corn and soy to the animals we inject with growth hormones.<br>Then steal all of the clean water for profit.<br>Can&apos;t call this food anymore, welcome to the era of &quot;food products&quot;. Somehow the rawest form of produce is ultra-processed, crazy.

  This also puts little farms like me out of business.

  I think educating people to eat better and more natural can bring small farmers back

  Even farmers are obese from their own food products. Means diabetes, heart kidney deseases plus cancer will occur in younger aged people.
