Dear colleagues,
The call for applications for the second edition of the International Innovation Award for Sustainable Agriculture<http://www.fao.org/innovation/awards/en/> on the theme ‘Innovation to transform food systems’ is now open. Individuals, private companies and institutions worldwide are being called to submit agricultural innovations that demonstrate concrete results and contribute to the environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainable development. FAO and the Federal Government of Switzerland first launched the award in November 2018 and information on the winners is available here<http://www.fao.org/innovation/awards-2019/en/>.
The award does not only acknowledge digital innovation, but also new or existing products or practices that are used in a specific context, to increase effectiveness, competitiveness and resilience. It is divided in two categories:
Category A: USD 30,000 is awarded for excellence in digitization and innovation for sustainable food systems.
Category B: USD 30,000 recognizes an innovation that specifically empowers youth (under 35) in sustainable food systems.
*In line with the requirements and technical competencies of the Federal Office of Agriculture of Switzerland, all innovations must apply to agriculture and pastoral systems only
More information is included in the terms and conditions<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/user_upload/faoweb/Innovation-awards-2021/Terms-Conditions.pdf> and the application form can be downloaded from the website<http://www.fao.org/innovation/awards/en/>.
We would be grateful for your support in promoting the award as much as possible among your networks (#AgInnovation).
Many thanks,
Office of the Deputy Director-General of FAO
