Africa’s Green Revolution threatens traditional foods

This year, AGRA celebrates its 20th anniversary, but researchers and farmers warn that its policies are harming African agriculture. The promotion of monocultures, such as maize, has led to a loss of more resilient and nutritious local crops. Despite massive investments, the number of undernourished people has increased by 60% in countries where AGRA is active, highlighting the ineffectiveness of the Green Revolution in the face of the growing food crisis.
