Source text - English I’m Tracy Worcester and I’ve lived in the countryside most of my life. But whether it is in Britain or abroad, I’ve seen small family farms going bankrupt because of the arrival of giant factory farms.
For years I’ve campaigned against the destruction of rural livelihoods and to improve animal welfare
America’s industrial pig farmers copied the chicken industry by cramming thousands of animals into a confined space. There are sometimes as many as ten thousand pigs in buildings like this – their waste dropping through a slatted floor.
During the 1990s small farmers in America campaigned against the growth of big farms.
Food has become a major profit-generating commodity and has spread onto a global playing field where food producers, workers, and consumers are reduced to pawns manipulated by giant corporations.
During the 1990s large scale meat processors bought up livestock farms. This vertical integration allowed the corporations to control the whole process from farming and slaughtering to packaging. The factory farms were now the main buyers of pigs, and as the price paid for pigs fell, many small farmers went bust.
The destruction of the small farm wasn’t casual its systematic. It is the intention, it is the way they make money, its the design of this industry. Once a company owns both the slaughter house and some of the farms, it destroys the capacity of the farmers to organise.
Translation - Danish Jeg hedder Tracy Worcester og jeg har boet på landet det meste af mit liv. Uanset om det har været i Storbrittanien eller i andre lande har jeg set små familielandbrug gå fallit på grund af nytilkomne industrielle landbrug. I mange år har jeg kæmpet imod ødelæggelsen af de landlige beboeres levebrød og for bedre dyrevelfærd.
De amerikanske, industrialiserede svinefarmere kopierede kyllingeindustrien ved at klemme tusinder af dyr sammen i små bure. Sommetider er der op til ti tusind grise i bygninger som denne – deres gylle løber ud gennem riste i gulvet.
I løbet af 1990’erne har mange mindre gårdejere kæmpet imod udbredelsen af de store landbrug.
Fødevarer er blevet en vigtig global og økonomisk profitabel vare på det internationale marked, og fødevareproducenter, landbrugs-medarbejdere og forbrugere er reduceret til brikker, som manipuleres af store selskaber.
Op igennem 90’erne har store kødproducenter opkøbt svinebrug. Den totale produktionsam- menlægning tillod selskaberne at overtage kontrollen med hele processen fra avl til slagtning og emballering. De industrielle landbrug var nu hovedindkøberne af svinkød og de efterfølgende lave priser fik mange små landmænd til at gå konkurs.
Ødelæggelsen af de mindre landbrug var ikke tilfældig, men systematisk. Det er selve hensigten, det er måden de tjener penge på, det er industriens strategi. Når først selskabet ejer både slagteri og flere landbrug undermineres de øvrige landmænds muligheder for fælles modstand.
