Eyes on Earth Episode 37 – Insuring West Africa’s Crops
Eyes on Earth Episode 37 – Insuring West Africa’s CropsThe Green Revolution leaned on fertilizers, drought-resistant seeds and other modern innovations to boost agricultural production across much of the planet in the second half of the 20th Century. But many of those innovations never reached West Africa, partially because the lack of social safety nets and crop insurance made such investments too risky.
