competition this year is focused on the theme of “Sustainable
Agriculture for Development.” It is asking participants to focus on
solutions to agricultural challenges in developing countries such as
linking small-scale farmers to markets; improving land access for poor
farmers; and promoting the environmental services of agriculture in
addressing climate change and biodiversity conservation.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.innovationafrica.org/"><SPAN>As

for projects to prove their concept, scale-up, or replicate. In the
words of Trevor Field, a winner from the 2003 competition: “Without
[Development Marketplace] funding, we’d still be in our infancy. Now we
can fly.”</SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/22435CC2-0DAB-4B7D-BFE7-55F019F032CC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
