The debate over cash crops versus food crops reflects a critical challenge in agriculture: balancing economic growth with food security and environmental sustainability.
A SSNUP co-funded project by impact investor Incofin replaced the cumbersome, manual quality control of rice, maize and chickpeas with an artificial intelligence – based mobile application, thereby drastically reducing the assessment time from three days to three seconds.
The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) carried out case studies with SSNUP beneficiary organisations to test a tool developed with Cerise for measuring compliance with the Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems.
