Are you involved in an initiative that sustainably provides food and/or water where previously there was insecurity? If so we would like to hear from you.
The Water and Food Award recognises and promotes sustainable initiatives from around the world. Every year, we create a list of applicants and select finalists who we fly to Copenhagen to receive publicity and contacts with companies looking to sponsor and assist their efforts.
The night of the award we choose a winner and present them with the Water and Food Award statuette as well as prizes provided by our sponsors.
Applications for the 2012 Award are closed. We will open for the next Award in November, 2012. Please come back to this site regularly for updates.

Excelente la convocatoria y el premio de apoyo económico que ofrecen; en Putumayo, Región Amazónica del Ecuador, frontera con Colombia la seguridad alimentaria y el acceso a agua sana, limpia y segura es muy difícil, quienes trabajamos y producimos la tierra nos vemos avocados a obtener muy bajos rendimientos de los cultivos, por su baja fertilidad.
Quiero participar, me pueden enviar el formato en WORD.
