AgriBest is an SME that deploys biotechnology to improve farmer crop yield and facilitate cost savings. AgriBest’s new concept, called the Bio Nutriprotection System (BNPS), improves the efficiency of the metabolic process in plants, offers better control of pests and diseases, and provides biofertilisation. When a grower replaces agrochemicals with AgriBest biotechnology, the grower is mitigating pollution.

To date, 386,850 people have benefitted from this solution. The biotechnology does not contaminate the soil or groundwater, and it even improves environmental conditions (carbon fixation). As a result, farmworkers and end consumers have less exposure to chemical residues that could affect their health.

Safi Organics is a fertiliser production SME working to tackle the challenges of rural farmers having to contend with expensive or inappropriate fertilisers that lead to soil acidification and yield loss. Safi Organics uses Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) technology to downsize and decentralise fertiliser production, making it profitable to deploy at a village level, using locally available resources and labour.

Safi Organics’s solution restores soil pH and health, resulting in immediately improved yields by as much as 30 per cent. The organisation’s unique solution has helped 3,500 farmers improve their net income by approximately 50 per cent.

S4S Technologies is an SME that is committed to empowering rural women and harnessing new technology to reduce food waste and improve income for farmers. The organisation addresses post-harvest loss through an electricity-free solution that converts farm losses to value-added products, helping farmers to increase their profit by 50–200 per cent.

S4S simultaneously solves three problems—malnutrition in women and kids, food wastage, and low income of farmers—while reducing gender inequality and promoting women entrepreneurship. The technology innovation (the solar conduction dryer) produces preservative-free, nutrition-rich products. It saves 22,500 tons of produce each year from getting wasted and 300,000 tons of CO2 from the environment.

Iniciativas Ecológicas from Venzeula proposes the construction of a greenhouse that unites fish farming with vertical agriculture, through a closed system based on water recirculation and the use of organic matter from fish excretions and food waste.

Water will be reused since it is channeled to crops generating economic value, and acts as a fertiliser with all the nutrients and minerals necessary for the growth of vegetable crops. Through this system, the school can produce 10 times more than traditional methods as crops can be grown all-year round, using 95% less water than conventional crops.

Part of the greenhouse will also be used to facilitate the solar drying of coffee, which allows a sustainable use of the montane cloud forests that are located close to the surrounding communities.

Gymnasium "Bihać" in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a school with a hundred-year tradition of promoting healthy lifestyles and tolerance.

The school aims to reduce air pollution by replacing air-to-water heating pumps with solar panels that could supply the entire school with electricity and emit 31,0000 tons less CO2 in the atmosphere each year. They also plan to create a permaculture garden to use for outdoor practical training.

The project would consist of a greenhouse (also powered by solar) and a variety of fruit, vegetables, and herbs, a surplus which will be given to charity and used for soap production in the school's laboratory. The project is expected to benefit students and the local community for at least 30 years, impacting 2,500 students in the first five years alone.
