As a farmer, you can always choose not to use these methods, stay with your traditional way. As you can do in the west also, even in the EU with all its rules and regulations.

And the impact of these grants is overrated. A billion in the whole of Africa is a drop in the ocean. It is more of an experiment really, to see if technology can help, but the problems there are deeply political.

The situation in Europe at least, is that if you choose the old ways you'll be loosing money, so nobody does it except for those that do it as a hobby and not for making a living.
