2017 Agricultural Mergers, Corporate Consolidation
The hosts review the massive wave of corporate consolidation in the agricultural and chemical sectors that occurred around 2017. Major mergers included Bayer and Monsanto, Dow and DuPont, and ChemChina and Syngenta. They argue that these combinations have created a "medical-pharmaceutical-agricultural complex" where a few global entities control the majority of the world's seeds, herbicides, and food production.
