In the Global South, agricultural development and food security are crucial issues that shape the lives of millions of people, from producers to consumers. Faced with demographic, economic, climatic, and geopolitical challenges, a paradigm shift toward productive and sustainable agricultural models is essential. These models must accelerate agroecological transformation, protect biodiversity and soils, while strengthening social equity and fair remuneration for producers in a context of strengthening food sovereignty.
La Fondation FARM lance la 3ème édition of its annual Prize, rewarding researchers who, through their scientific and societal commitment, make a concrete contribution to improving the living conditions of rural populations and to the development of sustainable food systems in countries of the South.
Après le succès des deux premières éditions, l’appel à candidatures pour le Prix FARM 2027 est désormais ouvert jusqu’au 30 juin 2026.
The Prize will reward researchers whose work demonstrates a concrete impact in countries of the South., either through field collaborations with local stakeholders (companies, agricultural organizations, NGOs), or through their contribution to public policies. They must illustrate how their research has influenced practical actions or important decisions among public and private stakeholders.
