Behind a humanitarian veil, Bill Gates favours the interests of corporations, promoting failed technological solutions that harm ecosystems & divert attention from the deep systemic changes needed to address the crises we are facing today

The common thread that runs through all Bill Gates' programs is the idea that innovation and the market will always save us, that any problem can (and should only) be solved through technology

Bill Gates's million-dollar investments allow him to impose his strategy through direct influence over all types of global development protagonists, from international and state policy to private companies, the media and public opinion

Bill Gates plans to stop global warming by reducing emissions to zero, while his push for short-term techno-fixes, investments & political agenda show little alignment with the goal of truly fighting #climatechange, hunger & poverty

Gates’ private market & power interests are particularly apparent in his push for agricultural transformation. Through programs like #AGRA, #AgOne #Ag Tech, the #BMGF has been pushing an industrial agricultural model for decades

Gates’
@Breakthrough Energy Ventures investment fund is supported by billionaires. They ‘Help the world get to net-zero’ by funding companies riddled with BigAg BigFood & BigTech (ex DuPont & Monsanto + PepsiCo & Microsoft executives)

The same corporations which precipitated our health & ecological crisis & have continually denied the detrimental effects of their innovations are now selling us back equally risky solutions to the problems they created

#Climatechange cannot be fully addressed without recognizing the central role of the industrialized & globalized food system in creating the climate crisis

#Patents on fake food growing techniques,which Gates invests in,are a profit making tool for corporations & billionaires, shifting power toward biotech companies & ignoring solutions offered by the regenerative organic agriculture movement

We don't need to go further down the path that has destroyed biodiversity & rural economies by following techno-fixes. #Agroecology is another path, providing a long-lasting solution to #climatechange and working to ensure food sovereignty

2 futures are emerging. 1 leads to the regeneration of our planet, health & democracy. The other leads to the collapse of the ecosystems. The future of diverse species, our common future, & our daily bread depend on which road we take
