Natural or unnatural? How our food is handled. The Colombian case

Since I moved from my home country, many things have changed. Politicians have favored free trade agreements to destroy the food independence of a multibiodiverse  place such as Colombia is, imposing by force the use of foreign seeds created by foreign multinationals and gave green light to the Free trade agreement with United States of America.

Consecuences? Many.
