In 2022, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa — a flagship Gates Foundation agricultural initiative — quietly dropped 'Green Revolution' from its name, rebranding simply as AGRA under the tagline 'Sustainably Growing Africa's Food Systems.' Critics, including African food-sovereignty groups, called the change a tacit admission of failure, pointing to independent evaluations finding that after some 15 years and hundreds of millions of dollars, AGRA had not delivered the promised gains in yields or farmer incomes, while hunger rose across its target countries. AGRA framed the rebrand as reflecting a broader strategy rather than a retreat. The move intensified scrutiny of the Gates Foundation's industrial-agriculture model in Africa.
