The same Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that plays a huge role in orchestrating the COVID-19 “pandemic”, is financing the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) to destroy food production, as obviously they don’t want Africa to eat (“sustainable” agriculture sounds so much better than genocide!)…
Since it was launched in 2006, AGRA has received more than $1 billion dollars from: the Gates Foundation, USAID and the UK and German governments.
Since August 2019, Hailemariam Desalegn is the chairman of AGRA. Desalegn is former Prime Minister of Ethiopia for the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front, of which WHO director Tedros was also a member.
Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, is also on the AGRA board after leaving the Gates Foundation. Shah has been USAID director under Obama.
The earlier President of AGRA since 2014, was Agnes Kalibata former Agriculture Minister under the genocidal Kagame dictatorship of Rwanda.
AGRA and the Gates Foundation also had extensive ties to major agribusiness firms like Bayer (including Monsanto after the merger), BASF, Corteva Agriscience (a merger between Dow and DuPont), OCP Group (formerly Office Chérifien des Phosphates), Yara, and Cargill.
In 13 African countries, AGRA has created debt traps for small farmers to force them to buy expensive patented seeds, and produce monoculture crops for export.
In Tanzania, AGRA’s approach forced small-scale food into debt.
Projects in Zambia also led to the indebtedness of participating small-scale food producers. Some farmers already after the first harvest were unable to repay loans for fertilizer and seeds.
AGRA has forced farmers to grow maize. Some countries, like Zambia, have nearly doubled the area planted with maize as a result of the Green Revolution incentives to plant the crop, yet their productivity growth over the 12- year period is only 27%.
The results are disastrous (even before the corona “pandemic”). The number of severely undernourished people in AGRA countries increased from 100.5 million to 131.3 million from 2006 to 2018 (a 30% increase).
For Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole, the number of severely undernourished people increased by more than 50 million to 230 million people, but the share thereof decreased slightly from 24.3% to 22.5%.
In Nigeria and Uganda the increase in undernourishment was the largest, with the number more than doubling in these 12 years. In Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, and Uganda the share as well as the number of starving increased.
Only Ethiopia reports a significant decline in the amount of chronically hungry people: https://www.rosalux.de/fileadmin/rls_upl...GRA_en.pdf
