This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The competition aims to identify the most innovative and sustainable solutions that can bring social, environmental and economic benefits to the agricultural and agro-industry sectors in developing countries:
1) from production to processing and conservation of food;
2) from logistics to consumption;
3) responsible management of surpluses to the relationship between agriculture, energy use and the environment.
Participation in the competition is open to start-ups and companies, researchers and universities, research and technology transfer centers, associations and NGOs from around the world. Applications must be submitted by 31 March 2019 through a dedicated website.
Proposals will be judged by a jury made up of experts from the agricultural, business and institutional sectors.
Awards will be distributed in seven categories, including for women and young people under the age of 35, as well as for food-climate-biodiversity-related projects. A special award will be given to the project, which has the greatest potential impact on the future of agribusiness and developing countries. UNIDO ITPO Italy will offer a package of services to the winners to support the implementation of their innovations.
