We are grateful to rockefeller brothers fund for supporting the following projects in 2009:
africa: opposing land grabs, agra and non-ecological agriculture
Enormous tracts of land on the African continent have been turned over to transnational agribusinesses and others interested in maximizing profits by exporting agricultural products, including for agrofuels production. A combination of African governments’ expropriation of community land and new agricultural systems proposed by donor agencies has proven to be highly damaging to smallholders’ livelihoods and the environment.
