WEBINAR: AGRA's Failed Promises - Liberating our Agriculture

A recently-released report by a coalition of German and African civil society groups, "False Promises," shows that the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa is failing on its own terms. Based partly on a research paper by Timothy A. Wise, the report underscores the destructive work of AGRA and similar models of agriculture in Africa.

HOMEF in collaboration with AFJN is hosting a webinar that will highlight the failed promises of AGRA and the so-called Green Revolution and chart the path for the liberation of our agricultural systems.

Watch a recording of the webinar on Facebook. 

Speakers will include:
Vandana Shiva, an environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, and anti-globalization author.

Mamadou Göita, a development economist and Executive Director of the Institute for Research and Promotion of Alternatives in Development (IRPAD) and he is one of the coauthors of the report, "False Promises".
