Digital Innovations for Zero Hunger – Joining forces to transform food production in African countries
Digital innovations provide strong opportunities for creating social impact and paving the way to sustainable food systems. However, a huge digital divide in the Global South exacerbates existing inequalities. To bridge this digital divide, The Seeding The Future Foundation, Welthungerhilfe, and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development have joined forces to develop digital solutions – Agricultural Extension Apps and the AgriShare App – to strengthen food security and to fight for ZeroHunger in African countries and beyond.
Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge
This Challenge seeks to inspire and support creative, diverse, and multidisciplinary teams to create game-changing innovations that will help transform the food system. Competitive grants and prizes will be awarded for innovations targeting the white space where three domains intersect: safe and nutritious food; sustainably produced; and accessible, appealing, affordable, and trusted by the consumer. The domains reside within a food policy framework where innovations can either be implemented within an existing policy framework, or change or create policy.
Transformational changes are needed in the global food system.
Our vision is a global food system that always provides equitable access to safe, nutritious, affordable, appealing, and trusted food for everyone and improves the health of people and our planet by being sustainable, resilient, and regenerative. Our moonshot is to affect the lives of one billion people.
Inspiring innovation across cultures to improve the lives of people around the world.
Advances and discoveries in science and technology, as well as creative new approaches and collaborations across disciplines will lead to solutions that result in significant food system changes and impact people's lives.
