Faced with demographic, economic, climatic, and geopolitical challenges, a paradigm shift toward sustainable and productive agricultural models is essential. These models must accelerate agroecological transformation, protect biodiversity and soils, while strengthening social equity, fair remuneration for producers, and food sovereignty.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00514c;\"><strong>Building bridges between research and action<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Although solutions are available and being tested around the world to sustainably increase productivity and improve producers&#039; living conditions, scaling them up remains a major challenge. Investment in research, entrepreneurship, and public action remains insufficient. This is why the FARM Foundation, positioned at the intersection of research, business strategies, and public policy, created this Prize to promote synergies between the various stakeholders in agricultural and food systems.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00514c;\"><strong>Priority action themes<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Co-constructed by the members of the Scientific Council and the management of FARM with the support of its Board of Directors, the<strong>The FARM Prize rewards committed researchers<\/strong> around four priority themes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promoting the resilience of agriculture to climate change and sustainable management of natural resources<\/li>\n<li>Improving South\/North supply conditions and consumption patterns <em>via <\/em>the promotion of fair market conditions for producers, consumer health and rational management of inputs<\/li>\n<li>Act to mobilize public and private financing to transform agricultural and food systems<\/li>\n<li>Develop public policies guaranteeing food security and sovereignty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n            <\/div>           \n        <\/div>\n        \n        \n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/section>\n\n\n<div class=\"accordeons\">\n\n    <div class=\"accordion\">\n        \n            <div class=\"accordion__item\">\n\n                <div class=\"accordion__title\">\n                    <div class=\"accordion__arrow\"><span class=\"accordion__arrow-item\">+<\/span><\/div>\n                    <h3>2026 Edition \u2013 A Malagasy researcher recognized for her commitment to plant health<\/h3>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"faq_contenu accordion__content\">\n                    <p>The FARM 2026 Prize was awarded on February 17, 2026 to <strong>Santatra Ravelomanantsoa<\/strong>, PhD in population biology and phytopathology and head of the agronomic research department of <strong>FOFIFA <\/strong>to the\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/10634745\/admin\/page-posts\/published\/\">University of Antananarivo<\/a>, She advocates an approach based on co-construction with producers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36798 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/brevo-santatra-ravelomanantsoa-finaliste-du-prix-de-la-fondation-farm-2026.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Selected from 30 applications, the jury praised his commitment in the field and the quality of his work for food security and the resilience of agricultural systems in the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>View his career<\/strong>\u00a0: <a href=\"https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/en\/actualite\/la-chercheuse-malgache-santatra-ravelomanantsoa-laureate-du-prix-2026-de-la-fondation-farm\/\">https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/actualite\/la-chercheuse-malgache-santatra-ravelomanantsoa-laureate-du-prix-2026-de-la-fondation-farm\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>The other 6 finalists for the 2026 edition:<\/u><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37575 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/fondation-farm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banniere-des-finalistes-prix-farm-2026-1200x1800-1-1000x1500.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n            \n            <div class=\"accordion__item\">\n\n                <div class=\"accordion__title\">\n                    <div class=\"accordion__arrow\"><span class=\"accordion__arrow-item\">+<\/span><\/div>\n                    <h3>2025 winner: a researcher working alongside Burkinabe women producers<\/h3>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"faq_contenu accordion__content\">\n                    <p>The first edition of the FARM Prize concluded on January 28, 2025, during the Foundation&#039;s International Conference.
