FAO Deputy Director-General, Beth Bechdol, opened the event by emphasising the critical role of climate action and innovation in ensuring equitable access to nutritious food worldwide.

Zebra CropBank, selected from a competitive pool of over 400 agri-focused companies across 69 countries, outshone the competition as one of the final eight contestants.

At the core of Zebra CropBank’s success was its revolutionary post-harvest service platform, providing farmers with the means to store and monetise their produce.
