The world deserves better than a monopoly that builds walls and hobbles development
The US obsession with retaining its crown is not rooted in advancing humanity’s collective interests; it is about preserving a monopoly. The US has used patent barriers, export bans and price gouging to act as the gatekeeper of modernisation.
As a result, the spread of technology is channelled through a system of sluice gates. This systematic hindrance builds a high wall, shutting out the Global South and locking developing nations permanently at the bottom of the global value chain.
The impact on the Global South is a daily reality of exclusion. Nowhere is this more visible than in agriculture.
