1. And the TPP, IMO, will double down on this -

WTO rules do not only govern trade in agriculture, but also domestic production. As currently constructed, the rules against domestic subsidies in the WTO’s Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) form a direct obstacle to developing countries seeking to invest in their own agriculture sectors to create local and national food systems that are at the core of creating food security.

I expect that sovereign countries will not only not be able to give subsidies and of course there will be loopholes here in the US - but be forced to buy Monsanto, etc., seeds at inflated prices.
