In part of a Good Politics Radio series entitled Replenishing the Breadbasket: Food and Philanthropy, Eric Holt-Gimenez explains how the Gates Foundations $300 million effort to aid African agriculture does little to change the structural problems that have led to the food crisis and is instead repeating the failed policies of the first green revolution.
