World Food Prize Should Become Voice Of Regenerative Agriculture
In 2017, the WFP awarded its $250,000 prize to Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, the head of the African Development Bank, who was quoted as saying his mission is to bring industrial agriculture to all of Africa. This is not the kind of agriculture we demonstrators want spread throughout the world. Heavy use of pesticides that support patented GMO seeds is not our idea of improving agriculture in lesser developed countries. It is a way for corporations to increase their profits.
