Indeed, the #livingincome is an essential tool to strengthen the agricultural strategic actions and policies, especially in Central America and the Caribbean countries. For the #coffee institutions is important to remark the natural and complementary link between the #livingincome tool and their current coffee renovation programs, as the presented outcomes demonstrate, otherwise the economic and financial constraints that small and medium coffee farmers face, cannot be solved isolated and uncoordinatedly.

Everyone is Welcome! You are Welcome! You are Believed in! You are Valued! International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) declares explicitly its offices, stations, and experimental sites as Non-discrimination Zones. CIMMYT’s 2030 Strategy promotes a holistic approach to strengthening agrifood systems. The strategy also promotes CIMMYT as a non-discriminatory place throughout the institution globally. Aide Molina, GESI champion and research associate puts it well: “The GESI initiative is a crucial starting point. While change takes time, starting is key. As an international institution, CIMMYT leads in both technological and social aspects. Declaring itself a ‘non-discrimination zone’ sets a powerful example for other institutions to follow.” https://lnkd.in/gePFG6Ze

We are calling for Asian projects to nominate for the world's biggest environmental award! ⠀ The Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize awards $2 million to a single winning project that significantly reduces the environmental impact of the way we eat. ⠀ We were established in Sweden on August 30, 2019, in acknowledgment of the perils that our current food systems pose to the health of people and the planet and with the conviction that the ways we produce, distribute, and consume food must be radically and urgently reformed if future generations — and the planet itself — are to survive and thrive. Our vision is a well-nourished world population on a thriving planet. ⠀ Immediate action is required. ⠀ Unlike most other awards, we focus on future impact rather than past success. ⠀ The prize can be awarded to individuals or organizations in both commercial and non-commercial settings. You can nominate your own initiative or someone else's. ⠀ Right now, we are looking for more groundbreaking projects from Asia! ⠀ Nominations are always welcome, but as our selection process takes just over a year, to stand a chance of winning in 2025, submit your nominations before May 10, 2024. ⠀ Nominating a project takes just three minutes but could change the world!
