Scale Up Distribution of Quality Seeds

Deadline: 2019-11-10
Award: $20,000
Open to: Everyone*

New varieties of naturally-bred seeds produce 2-3 times higher yield than old seeds. However, only a small minority of smallholder farmers have access to high-quality seeds. In three months, pilot an evidence-based model that distributes high-quality seeds and reliably boosts the standard of living for 50 smallholder farmers, growing to 2000 farmers in two years. A successful plan will include continuous monitoring and testing, and a commitment to change if evidence suggests your approach is not working.
