Episode Description from the Publisher

In today's episode we're diving deep into the growing critiques surrounding Bill Gates and his foundation's agricultural interventions in Africa.We explore why African groups, faith leaders, and food policy experts argue that the Gates-funded Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) has failed to deliver on its promises.Instead of boosting yields and ending hunger, evidence shows that industrial farming initiatives, patented seeds, and synthetic fertilizers have contributed to rising hunger, debt, and ecological damage across target nations.Join us as we examine the shift toward agroecology, local seed sovereignty, and community-led farming solutions.=== REFERENCES ===https://usrtk.org/bill-gates/critiques-of-gates-foundation/https://sites.tufts.edu/gdae/files/2020/07/20-01_Wise_FailureToYield.pdf=== Support our work.
