Food First: Mali Conference Debriefing

On December 2nd The Institute for Food and Development Policy - Food First - helped organize a conference in Mali on Agroecological Alternatives to a Green Revolution in Africa. The purpose of this conference was to inform farmers in Africa about the Gates Foundations' Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). AGRA hopes to introduce input intensive, industrial agriculture to Africa. Food First believes that farmers and the environment are best served by small scale, low-capital, agroecological methods of farming. Read Food First's "Twelve Myths About Hunger" to see why industrial food production isnt the answer to hunger.
