*Gates Ag One: The Recolonisation Of Agriculture* *by Navdanya and Navdanya International* *https://www.independentsciencenews.org/commentaries/gates-ag-one-the-recolonisation-of-agriculture/* <https://www.independentsciencenews.org/commentaries/gates-ag-one-the-recolonisation-of-agriculture/> *Synopsis: Bill Gates and his Foundation have a major new project. Its full title is 'The Bill & Melinda * *Gates **Agricultural Innovations LLC’, but usually it is called 'Ag One’. The stated purpose of Ag One * *is to bring an **improved green revolution to Africa, India, and neglected areas of South America. * *According to its manifesto, **Ag One will accelerate technology acquisition to solve problems of * *poverty and climate impacts. * *But its real agenda, argue the Navdanya authors, is predatory and imperialist. It is to capture valuable * *agricultural **data, genetic data, and other resources from farmers in the Global South, acquiring them * *for corporate use. Additionally, Ag One will be used to open markets for agribusiness, especially seed * *and chemical markets. * *This article is extracted from a new multi-author report on the dangers of philanthrocapitalism and * *especially the Gates Foundation. Called Gates to a Global Empire <https://navdanyainternational.org/publications/gates-to-a-global-empire/>, the report is published by Navdanya.* *Please share if you find this article useful.
