in the pre-AGRA period, yields in the 13 AGRA focus coun-tries increased gradually by a total of 17% even without the programmes. Therefore, the increases in yields ‘with - out’ AGRA and ‘with’ AGRA are almost identical. Instead of halving hunger, the situation in the 13 focus countries actually deteriorated since the AGRA programmes were
Dec 5, 2020 · AGRA, registered in the US, was founded in 2006 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and others with the vision of doubling agricultural yields, the incomes of 30 million small-scale food producer households, and halving both hunger and poverty in 20 African countries by 2020.
AGRA’s own evaluations comprehensively confirm the findings of the “False Promises” study: the AGRA approach has failed. AGRA was far from achieving the goals it set for itself. In many cases, AGRA’s Green Revolution approach does not even provide the farmers involved in its projects with incomes that are above the poverty line.
During this first phase (2017–2022), the BMZ/KfW funded four AGRA projects totalling approximately €10 million. Without the continuous external funding of industrial inputs, such as synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and industrial seeds, the AGRA project model with its Green Revolution development approach cannot exist.
The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) and its technical fixes play a key role at the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS). AGRA‘s President, Dr Agnes Kalibata, for instance, is a Special Envoy to the Summit. AGRA, registered in the US, was founded in 2006 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and others with the vision of
The study issues AGRA a decidedly negative report card: yield increases for key staple crops in the years before AGRA were just as low as during AGRA. Instead of halving hunger, the situation in the 13 focus countries has worsened since AGRA was launched. The number of people going hungry has increased by 30 percent during the AGRA years.
