## Resource

In this episode of the podcast, Million Belay speaks with global food policy expert Timothy A Wise to unpack the failures of the Green Revolution, AGRA’s unfulfilled promises, and Mexico’s powerful stand against GMOs. Drawing on decades of research and his book Eating Tomorrow, Tim reveals how corporate and donor influence continue to shape African agriculture while small-scale farmers offer proven, sustainable solutions. This conversation explores the political forces behind industrial agriculture, the growing evidence of health and environmental risks, and the urgent need to shift toward agroecology and farmer-led approaches.
