If you don’t know what this is, don’t worry. I learned Latin in high school and still had no clue what that title meant. It turns out its a United Nations group (or directive, I guess) calling for a world standard in food production and distribution.
While it sounds pretty benign, it’s actually pretty alarming once you consider the implications that could have. Here’s a short, multi-part series on the subject. It’s a little less than an hour long, in five parts. I’ll warn you that the woman doing most of this presenting is pretty boring, but her information is stark and very relevant.
Consider this after you’ve thought about what it will do to small farmers, organic growers, and heritage breeders…
