How Bill Gates and other western billionaires are destroying Africa's agriculture Kwabena Ofori Osei 66 Views • 1 year ago

This is what happens when Western philanthropists try to ‘fix’ hunger in developing countries. Neelam Tailor investigates how philanthropic efforts by the Gates Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the organisation they set up in Africa called AGRA, set out to revolutionise farming in Africa, but may have made things worse for the small-scale farmers who produce 70% of the continent’s food.From seed laws that criminalise traditional practices, to corporate partnerships with agribusiness giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, we explore how a well-funded Green Revolution has led to rising debt, loss of biodiversity, and deepening food insecurity across the continent.📌 Chapters:00:00 Intro00:55 Africa’s traditional farming systems01:47 When the philanthropists got involved03:39 This isn’t new: the previous Green Revolution05:22 Corporate control over seeds06:58 Farmers are fighting backAbout:It's Complicated is a new channel from ⁨@theGuardian bringing you weekly videos about the hows and why behind the stories that matter.The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/) has been providing high-impact, independent journalism since 1821, always free from commercial and political influence.

Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 1972 Yaw Ababio 30 Views • 1 year ago

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by British political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who later became his wife. At the time, the couple were lovers, although MacColl was still married to Joan Littlewood. Seeger sang the song when the duo performed in folk clubs around Britain. During the 1960s, it was recorded by various folk singers and became a major international hit for Roberta Flack in 1972, winning Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Billboard ranked it as the no. 1 Hot 100 single of the year for 1972.

Lyrics:
The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My Love

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My Love

And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last, til the end of time
My Love
And last, 'til the end of time
My love

The first time, ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your fa-ace
Your face
