Farm input subsidy programmes (FISPs) play a central role in financing and delivering Green Revolution technologies to small-scale farmers in Africa. These programmes are rolled out in numerous African countries-from Ghana to Swaziland.
ACB developed these easy to read factsheets that explain what farm input subsidy programs are and how they operate vis-à-vis smallholder farmers, what they subsidise, how they impact on agricultural biodiversity and the ecological systems, farmer managed seed systems, resulting debt and dependence, deepening of poverty and inequality, leakage, corporate capture and mismanagement of public resources.
These factsheets are available in English, Chichewa, Shona, KiSwahili, Portuguese, IsiXhosa, Sesothu, Siswati, Nyanja and Setswana.
