‘We are the flour in your bread, the wheat in your noodles, the salt on your fries. We are the corn in your tortillas, the chocolate in your dessert, the sweetener in your soft drink. We are the oil

in your salad dressing and the beef, pork or chicken you eat for dinner. We are the cotton in your clothing, the backing on your carpet and

the fertiliser in your field.’(Cargill 2001)

„TNCs are increasingly using standards to decide factors such as who are the producers, where is the location of production, and what are the conditions of productions. ... In the global agro-food system, standards are emerging as the dominant mechanism of control.“ (Konefal et al 2005, 295)

Corporate Food Regime - Fazit

There is little doubt [..] that the trajectory of this so-called ‘corporate food regime’ is such that it poses a fundamental threat to the survival of a substantial proportion of the inhabitants of the

planet (especially those who do not participate in the global marketplace), and to the ecology of

the planet .(McMichael 2009, 151)
