Land O'Lakes butter “Took well over $100 million dollars from USAID"

One, I cannot find an article that confirms this expenditure through USAID by U.S. taxpayers.  But I have been able to find other articles showing Land O'Lakes investment in Africa and the Middle East.

I guess that is the playbook, right?  Culturally destroy other countries through disease and war, install woke culture via USAID and others with funds to study queer studies, while NGOs portray America as racist as a justice move to develop African countries and serve them American products?  

Given how food choices are so personal, this detail makes it even easier to pass on Land O'Lakes products.  I never bought their butter to begin with, and this just makes it easier to pass on it.  But why does Land O'Lakes need to be involved in so many African countries?  You know who else is involved in many African countries?  Bill Gates.

Why would Land O'Lakes need to support dairy development in Ethiopia?  

Wow, Land O' Lakes is all over Africa and the Middle East?  I guess United States' foreign policy is blow those places up, send in American companies to redevelop them.  Clearly, American brands have high value overseas, while at home we're treated to glyphosate and GMO.  Yum.

The Lebanon Investment in Quality (LINQ) Program, funded by USAID, is a three-year project focused on enhancing food safety and quality expertise in the agribusiness and fresh products sectors. The project will leverage technical support from Land O’Lakes, Inc. quality assurance experts, including both in-country volunteers and distance mentoring assignments.

Land O’Lakes International Development’s business relationships and cooperative management expertise works to provide assistance to Rwandan and Malawian agricultural cooperatives through USAID. In addition to technical advice from the Land O’Lakes, Inc. member relations team, Land O'Lakes, Inc. member cooperatives will provide technical assistance for the project.

Working alongside experts at Michigan State University and the Georgian Farmers Association, Land O’Lakes International Development will work with Georgian dairy and livestock agribusinesses to improve food safety and quality protocols. It will build up food safety best practices through a private sector-led effort, supported by the project partners and incorporating food safety expertise from Land O’Lakes, Inc. Funding for this five-year program is provided by the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service via the Food for Progress Program.

A five-year project in Egypt will focus on work alongside the government of Egypt and Egypt’s National Food Safety Authority to inspect and coach food businesses in new food safety standards. The program will leverage the expertise of the International Food Protection Training Institute, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. The program has been awarded funding from USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service via the Food for Progress Program.
