Powerful groups - including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - insist African farmers should follow the U.S. industrial agriculture model.
Industrial agriculture causes biodiversity loss, hurts small-scale farmers and causes environmental harm - all while failing to solve hunger, according to AFSA and AGRA Watch, which created the short-film series.
The series exposes how "Big Philanthropy" - namely the Gates Foundation - is destroying farming and food in Africa by seizing control from local interests.
The foundations claimed AGRA would bring about a "Green Revolution" in Africa by increasing the productivity of small farms, thus lifting people out of poverty and alleviating hunger.
"[BMGF] takes advantage of food and global climate crises to promote high-tech, market-based, industrial agriculture and generate profits for corporations even while degrading the environment and disempowering farmers.
Powerful groups exported U.S. farming practices first to Asian and Latin American countries, then to Africa.
So while these farming practices do not help farmers, they do benefit corporations - including the BMGF. This is "Philanthrocapitalism," claims the film, which furthers the interests of corporations and harms African farmers and communities, all while claiming to advance the humanitarian goal of feeding the world.
