Argentina\u2019s Gran Chaco forest is being razed for soya, ending up in Europe as animal feed, and on our plates. It\u2019s the backbone of Argentina\u2019s fragile economy, but has come at a price for the indigenous people who live there<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The extent of the destruction is painful to see. Flying over the area around the El Corralito indigenous community in a single-propeller plane, only thin strips of green are left between vast fields of pale, newly uncovered earth, pencilled in with parallel white lines of the ashes of bulldozed trees.<\/span><\/p>\n
