Cutting Down Tobacco
Tobacco is a crop as addictive to growers in the developing world as it is to any user. For them, dependency is economic rather than physical or psychological — but while ready cash is attractive, farmers are beginning to realize that growing tobacco is threatening the health of their families, their land, and their local ecosystems. | | http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-109250-201-1-DO_TOPIC |

"Every once in a while the David does come up and beat the Goliath. Europeans had a rule: only sardines from the Mediterranean and the western coast of the Atlantic could be called sardines. Peru lodged a complaint with the World Trade Organization ... The Europeans had to revamp their law to allow for the sale of Peruvian sardines. That gives me hope that international standards are not working to the disadvantage of developing countries." | | http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-106627-201-1-DO_TOPIC |
