This is what happens when Western philanthropists try to ‘fix’ hunger in developing countries. Neelam Tailor investigates how philanthropic efforts by the Gates Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the organisation they set up in Africa called AGRA, set out to revolutionise farming in Africa, but may have made things worse for the small-scale farmers who produce 70% of the continent’s food.From seed laws that criminalise traditional practices, to corporate partnerships with agribusiness giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, we explore how a well-funded Green Revolution has led to rising debt, loss of biodiversity, and deepening food insecurity across the continent.📌 Chapters:00:00 Intro00:55 Africa’s traditional farming systems01:47 When the philanthropists got involved03:39 This isn’t new: the previous Green Revolution05:22 Corporate control over seeds06:58 Farmers are fighting backAbout:It's Complicated is a new channel from @theGuardian bringing you weekly videos about the hows and why behind the stories that matter.The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/) has been providing high-impact, independent journalism since 1821, always free from commercial and political influence.

Elon Musk was born in 1971 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in a wealthy family under the country's racist apartheid laws. Musk's family history reveals ties to apartheid and neo-Nazi politics. We speak with Chris McGreal, reporter for The Guardian, to understand how Musk's upbringing shaped his worldview, as well as that of his South African-raised colleague Peter Thiel, a right-wing billionaire who co-founded PayPal alongside Musk. "Musk lived what can only be described as a neocolonial life," said McGreal. "If you were a white South African in that period and you had any money at all, you lived with servants at your beck and call."
