UnderMining Agriculture is a report by The Gaia Foundation looking at the real impact of mining on agriculture, food production, soil fertility, fresh water systems, the air that we breathe, and our already challenged climate.
The report was launched in September 2014 and includes case studies from around the world showing that mining is destroying the conditions necessary for healthy agriculture and food sovereignty. UnderMining Agriculture concludes that national priorities need to be re-evaluated, and calls for agricultural lands and the water systems they depend on to be recognised as “no-go-areas” for mining and extraction.
