Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) 2

After a successful first round, we’ve partnered with the Shockwave Foundation and the Munich Re Foundation on phase II of the Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) challenge. RAIN aims to convert seed-level innovative agricultural ideas that are meeting resilience needs in East Africa and scale them to sustainable business ideas of interest to private investors and funders. Following in depth evaluation, 11 projects were chosen as the phase II winners.
