Community Alliance for Global Justice/Agra watch, Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Aftica (AFSA)

Dear Bill Gates:

You were recently featured commenting on the global state of agriculture and food insecurity, in a recent New York Times op-ed by David Wallace-Wells and also in an Associated Press article.

It is your preferred high-tech solutions, including genetic engineering, new breeding technologies, and now digital agriculture, that have in fact consistently failed to reduce hunger or increase food access as promised.

In both articles, you make a number of claims that are inaccurate and need to be challenged.
