Lifting Farmers Out of Poverty

The Lifting Farmers Out of Poverty prize, sponsored by Gagan Gupta, is focused on exponentially increasing the income for millions of farmers living on less than $2 dollars a day.

The two finalist teams outlined below will engage in a head-to-head competition at the Visioneering Summit to determine which idea will move forward to be launched as an XPRIZE.
