Abstract
The genocide of indigenous peoples is one of the most evident attributes of the ever-expanding agribusiness, as it releases land, labour and resources then used for the production of commodities and the circulation of capital. Contemporary genocides actualise and maintain processes characterised by intense violence, given that the underlying logic of agribusiness seems to be ‘let’s end everything before everything ends’. The genocidal basis of colonisation continues, therefore, to evolve in order to meet the present-day needs of an agri-food sector dominated by corporations, land speculators and banks (rentier capital).
