So we have massive subsidies for our European farmers, and the Americans have massive subsidies for their cotton growers, allowing all of them to produce gigantic surpluses. <BR/><BR/>We then dump this excess produce on the African market, swamping the local farmers who can't compete with the level of subsidy.<BR/><BR/>They go out of business because the local people naturally buy the cheaper imported goods.<BR/><BR/>They go hungry.<BR/><BR/>We then come up with a scheme to make our subsidised farmers feel better about this appalling turn of events. <I>Here.
