Subsistence Farming vs. Industrial Agriculture in Africa: What Destroys More?

While on a global scale, industrial agriculture is said to be responsible for between 70% and 90% of deforestation in Africa, several studies attribute as much, if not more, impact on forest degradation to subsistence farming than to industrial agriculture. This version is debunked by environmentalists, who see it as a maneuver by industrial lobbies seeking to get their hands on a continent that accounts for 60% of the planet's arable land. Hence the birth of this reporting project, entitled "Subsistence Farming vs. Industrial Agriculture in Africa: What Destroys More?”
