Description
In this episode, we dive into the non-profit world that dictates African agricultural policy. What is AGRA, where did it come from, who is funding it, and how are they doing it? In the first part, we detangle the investors and non-profits driving this change to see who is really behind these continental policy changes and how they are able to gather so much power.
