🧵I love #football

Have done since the 1980's ⚽️

Nowadays though, the off-field stuff seems to get as much coverage & column inches as the game itself 🗞️📺📱

Competition isn't just about trophies - it's about eyeballs, soft power, geo-politics, PR and #money

Quick tale...
Did you see that news report from the #US this week about the #billionaire financier #TomBarrack being arrested? ($250m bail)

In the weird (but fun) world we live in, that incident ties to #NewcastleUnited & the #PremierLeague

Say what?! 🧐

#FollowTheMoney #Networks #Power 💸
We have;

- Billionaires acting as back-channel diplomats (💰)
- Political actors orchestrating things but pretending they're not
- Qatar buy rights to #EPL for region
- Saudi pirate them #AJ #BeIn #BeOut
- SA try to buy NUFC
- Qatar say "No Way"

🗞️ 'Industrial #agriculture receiving bulk of #Africa’s agricultural development funding'

💵 "Investments by Bill & Melinda @gatesfoundation, #Kenya and #Switzerland still reinforce status quo in agricultural research," write @Nipashetz #MoneyFlows

ippmedia.com/en/news/indust… Image
"New data shows that only a fraction of agricultural research funding in #Africa is being used to transform #food and farming systems. Only 3% of @gatesfoundation projects in Africa support sustainable, regenerative approaches – or #agroecology," says #Tanzania's @Nipashetz
"The #MoneyFlows report looks at investments in sub-Saharan Africa with a focus on #Switzerland, a major bilateral donor, the @gatesfoundation, the biggest philanthropic investor in agri-#development, and #Kenya, one of Africa’s leading recipients and implementers of '#AgR4D'." ImageImage

#OPINION | “#Agroecology tied to SDGs and the #ParisAgreement? That’s a virtuous circle!” 🌱🌍

🗓️On 10 June we release the #MoneyFlows report on investments in agroecological research in #Africa.

But first we talked to @Afsafrica's @Million_Belay!

👉 ipes-food.org/pages/money-fl… ImageImageImage
"#Agroecology is transformative. It is different because it goes beyond resource efficiency and simply substituting the current system with alternative practices. Actually, agroecology includes #ecosystem, #community and global level transformation," says @Million_Belay.
"We need to emphasise #agroecology’s contribution to the #SDGs and also the #ParisAgreement. That way we can mainstream agroecology in policy, and in turn attract more investment in agroecological research."
