Land that would otherwise be left unharvested, can now benefit both Madagascar and Korea because of the resources of Daewoo.

It’s very much appreicated. There is a lot of skepticism and some cynicism amongst those who advocate for fair trade and for the elimination of extreme poverty in our world about this move by South Korea and other governments who are doing the same. Is this a move that will bring progress to Madagascar or will further impoverish its people by taking away land for their agricultural use? Definitely food for thought Thanks Beth for sharing this info with us in the ONE Blog. It’s very much appreicated.

Don’t forget that the number one question asked Obama was “Will you legalize marijuana?”. Think about the benefits that medical cannabis can have on the millions of suffering Africans. I am very disturbed when I hear that UN Police are using international aid money to persecute cannabis growers in Africa and destroy such an important beneficial crop. Bono has enormous influence on UN leaders, and some of the world’s most powerful people. Please don’t think for a moment that by removing cannabis the UN is in any way helping the poor people of Africa or any other continent. This is a grave injustice, and I'm sure the sick and dying Africans effected by such laws would agree. The cannabis plant can help to provide food, clothing, shelter, safe medicine, and eco-friendly fuel. If the One Campaign really wants to help the poor, we should let them grow hemp, and if we must get involved, help them succeed in taking advantage of the many benefits of the hemp industry. I hope Bono keeps up the good work, and helps to stop the bad work. Thanx. www.nycamp.org Hello fellow ONE member,

Land that would otherwise be left unharvested, can now benefit both Madagascar and Korea because of the resources of Daewoo. It sickens me to hear US and European-based humanity organizations demonize Asian trade and investment in Africa, but turn a blind-eye to the US and European-based activity in the region. Let us not forget that US and European companies make up the majority of such investment activity in the region. http://www.newser.com/story/36721/biofuel-firms-african-land-grab-has-colonial-echoes.html I am curious if this well-conceived reply to your post will be allowed to post on the ONE.org website. Or does ONE.org practise the same corporate agenda-seeking censorship that it condemns? Let's us find out please. Beth,
