The Gaia Foundation's new report
exposes
the hidden costs of mining on food, water, land, air and climate,
showing how each is increasingly affected by toxins as the global land
and water grab intensifies. The report is
a timely call to action for all food justice and anti mining
organisations to come together with a harder line against the
extractives sector. Case studies from around the world illustrate how mining is
destroying the conditions essential for healthy and productive
agriculture as communities testify to experiencing livestock deaths,
soil pollution, acidic water supplies, desertification of agricultural
lands, and being forcibly displaced.
