In developing countries, agricultural development and food security are crucial issues that shape the lives of millions of people, from producers to consumers. In the face of demographic, economic, climatic and geopolitical challenges, a paradigm shift towards sustainable and productive agricultural models is essential. These models must accelerate agro-ecological transformation, protect biodiversity and soils, while strengthening social equity, fair remuneration for producers and food sovereignty.<\/p>\n

The FARM Foundation is launching the 3rd edition<\/strong> of its annual prize to reward researchers who, through their scientific and social commitment, make a concrete contribution to improving the living conditions of rural populations and developing sustainable food systems in developing countries.<\/p>\n

Following the success of the first two editions, the call for applications for the FARM 2027 Prize is now open until 30 June 2026.<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/div> \n <\/div>\n \n

The prize will be awarded to researchers whose work has a concrete impact in developing countries<\/strong>, either through on-the-ground collaboration with local actors (companies, farmers' organizations, NGOs) or through their contribution to public policy. They must demonstrate how their research has influenced practical action or major decisions by public and private actors.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
