The MIT Solve community has announced
the 2020 Global Challenge on the topic of “Sustainable Food Systems”. Agriculture
occupies more than 40 percent of the Earth’s land and is a major source of
greenhouse gas emissions. Farming, fishing, transporting, processing, and
distributing food supports 28 percent of human livelihood, including 470
million smallholder farmers who often depend on less than 2 hectares for both
income and sustenance. By 2050, that system will need to feed 3 billion more
people while reducing net emissions to zero to align with Paris Agreement
targets. New trends make transforming the food system more difficult. As people
move out of poverty, they buy more meat, increasing the amount of land used to
raise and feed animals, and further burdening over exploited fish stocks.
Simultaneously, humanity gets 75 percent of food from just 17 species, decreasing
resilience to diseases and other climate-related stresses and shocks. Finally,
with 30 percent of food lost or wasted, a third of the food system’s
environmental impact happens without feeding anyone. Online registration closes
18 June 2020.

World Vision has
issued an Agricultural Innovation challenge to solve – and innovators come up
with ideas. This year’s Social Innovation Challenge is centered on agriculture
in the community of the Enemay Woreda (District), East Gojjam Zone, Amhara
Region, Ethiopia. This Challenge offers several opportunities to adopt
applicable approaches and to contribute to the advanced practices and
livelihood of smallholders in Bichena. A few of the ways that an innovative
solution could address the issues in the Enemay Woreda are outlined as:
Productivity Increase – Smallholder farmers can produce more products though
applying better agricultural practices and using the existing potential of the
Woreda. Existing Resources – The Woreda has a huge population of human
resources, rivers and visible water tables that are reliable sources for
irrigation. Farmers can produce twice per year if applicable solutions are
designed. Market Opportunity – Farmers could have more sources of income either
from their products or from other off-farming activities than they currently
have. Employment Opportunity – Potential solutions could provide additional
skills and techniques that can generate additional employment for farmers
and/or rural youths. Technology – New technology could be introduced to address
the challenges of productivity caused by a high population and shortage of
farming land. Sustainability – This project can be sustained even after World
Vision’s support phases out. The application deadline is 20 June 2020.

CEPI has opened an additional funding
opportunity for the rapid development of vaccines against COVID-19. The ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis causing unprecedented disruption to
human activity. As national and regional governments assess containment
measures, it is thought that only widely available safe and effective vaccines
in conjunction with other public health measures will allow a return to normal
life and help prevent further sickness and deaths. CEPI is striving to
accelerate vaccine development and to ensure that associated manufacturing
capabilities and capacities will meet global demand as quickly as possible.
This Call for Proposals will support the rapid development of vaccines striving
for licensure/emergency authorization in 12-18 months or less and, to ensure
the availability of sufficient doses for wide-spread global deployment as soon
as possible in 2021. The objective of this Call for Proposals is to support the
rapid development of vaccines with a goal of achieving licensure/emergency
authorization in 12-18 months or less and to ensure the availability of
sufficient doses for wide-spread global deployment as soon as possible in 2021.
CEPI’s core goal in releasing this call for proposals is to accelerate the
development of safe and effective vaccines by organizations who can rapidly
deliver at scale and to ensure that the supply of vaccine doses is made
available to meet the public health need on a worldwide basis during the
pandemic. The application deadline is 30 June 2020.
