+The big UK supermarket chains are amongst the most powerful companies operating in the UK and globally. [[Wal-Mart]], which owns Asda, is the biggest company in the world.
 Whilst supermarkets dominate the food supply chain in some countries and in some commodity lines, elsewhere it is the big transnational food processors such as [[Kraft]], [[Nestle]], [[Altria]] (formerly [[Philip Morris]]), [[Unilever]], Procter and Gamble and [[Cargill]] who hold the power in the supply chain.

	The key issue is the concentration of power into the hands of a few powerful companies who can then dictate the terms and conditions to millions of small farmers and other small suppliers. This imbalance has been created over the last 30 years through food and agriculture policies and global trade agreements which promote trade liberalisation and the globalisation of the food economy. As farmers and plantation owners are squeezed to produce more and more at ever decreasing margins, its no wonder that farm workers, animals and the environment are exploited. It is also no wonder that we are suffering from a global farming crisis.
