Farm Gate 106: What’s Bill Gates doing to Africa’s food?

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft – he’s a good guy, right? Africa’s food system has been a major recipient of Gates’ $59bn philanthropy. But is Gates helping African food systems – or destroying them? Is he ending hunger – or depleting land resilience and contributing to food insecurity and societal instability?

I’m joined by Tim Schwabe, author of the new book, The Bill Gates Problem – and by Million Belay, the co-founder of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa.
