Suman Palit has the following article about the "Bullshit" awards being given to First World Green groups by 3rd world farmers.

It all came to a head in Johannesburg, towards the tail end of the Earth Summit 2002. African and Asian farmers (¹), led by Barun Mitra of the Sustainable Development Network, presented three environmental organizations with a “Bullshit” trophy (yes, made out of real cow dung) for their role in actually preserving poverty in Third World countries! It was a remarkable indictment of how far out of touch today’s green activists were with the developing world indigents whose lives they intend to better.

Suman traces through the standard palate of Green issues and poignantly describes how issues that merely affect Western (liberal) sensibilities -- for ex., biotech food -- actually affect *real* hunger and poverty in the 3rd world.

He coins (well, new to me at least) the term Watermelon Activism:

Green activism in India and across much of the world has unfortunately been replaced by Watermelon activism. Green on the outside, red on the inside. Dominated by a mélange of fierce anti-globalists, neo-socialists, free-market critics and Gaia evangelists, this is the new face of environmental activism. Clouded in large part by the precautionary principle (³), which is an extreme example of risk-averse behavior, they lead the neo-Luddite opposition to scientific advances in crop genetics, nanotechnology, genome research, cloning, you name it. The potential for damage to agriculture based economies of Africa and Asia is dangerously real.
