A Brief History of the Alliance for A Green Revolution in Africa part 2

In this episode, we dive into the non-profit world that dictates African agricultural policy. What is AGRA, where did it come from, who is funding it, and how are they doing it? In the second part, we take a look at some of the more sinister actions to control food production in Africa and the responses from some of the indigenous farmers.     Support this podcast by becoming a Patron at: https://www.patreon.com/PoorProlesAlmanac   Sources: https://agra.org/our-story/ https://www.alliancemagazine.org/feature/the-farmers-voice-in-agricultural-development/ https://ecdpm.org/wp-content/uploads/DP240-Financing-the-African-Union-on-mindsets-and-money.pdf https://www.die-gdi.de/uploads/media/BP_04.2011.pdf https://www.mathematica.org/blogs/uncovering-insights-about-agricultural-transformation-in-africa https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1759-5436.2011.00238.x https://www.iatp.org/agra-still-failing-africas-farmers https://safcei.org/press-release-african-faith-communities-tell-gates-foundation-big-farming-is-no-solution-for-africa/ https://www.iatp.org/blog/202010/agricultural-revolution-gates-foundation-leading-africa-failure https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/10/9/african-agriculture-without-its-farmers https://grain.org/en/article/6690-how-the-gates-foundation-is-driving-the-food-system-in-the-wrong-direction https://news.mongabay.com/2022/03/donors-must-rethink-africas-flagging-green-revolution-new-evaluation-shows-commentary/#:~:text=A%20critical%20new%20donor%2Dfunded,security%20for%209%20million%20smallholders.%E2%80%9D https://www.pambazuka.org/governance/au%E2%80%99s-dependency-donors-big-shame
