Ræva aksjekurs pga dårlig med kjøpere, og et nebbdyr som på død og liv skal ut med aksjer.
Fremtiden jobber uansett for oss med litt tålmodighet.
UpLink, in partnership with the Ministry of Economy and Planning of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is launching the Food Ecosystems in Arid Climates Challenge, a global call for food entrepreneurs to submit their innovative solutions to achieving food security in water-scarce and low-resource areas
The Challenge calls for solutions that touch on one or more of these focus areas:
-
Production and resources: agriculture, water management, aquaculture, blue foods, nutrition and alternative proteins to tackle drought and desertification.
-
Sustainable food value/supply chains: including the reduction of food loss, food waste, equitable access to healthy and nutritious food and connected sustainable value chains, and integrating production, harvesting, distribution, processing, retail markets, restaurants, and households in arid climates.
-
Food socio-economy: enhancing skills, employment and income of farmers and food workers in deserts or drought-affected areas. Innovations that support strengthening financial safety nets, food sovereignty and financial inclusion impacted by lack of rainfall.
-
Data, digital access and technology: solutions that adopt new technologies, use of data, inclusive and responsible innovation, and methods of traceability that excel in arid climates.
-
Community awareness and education: social innovations, the participation of young people and women, ethical communication strategies, family and faith-based solutions, and the integration of traditional and indigenous solutions in drylands and regions exposed to drought.
This Challenge is a result of the partnership between UpLink and the Ministry of Economy and Planning of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to address the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, focusing on SDG 2 – Zero Hunger. Moreover, the challenge brought together numerous supporting partners to integrate their perspectives into the Challenge to open a diverse and creative opportunity to food entrepreneurs who are bringing solutions to arid climates.
