While the world’s population is on the rise, food production is decreasing, and almost a billion people around the globe don’t have enough to eat. The new issue of Handshake: Food & PPPs examines how public-private partnerships (PPPs) in agriculture can help governments feed generations to come.
Handshake: Food & PPPs offers compelling and original ideas, analysis, and solutions from industry, NGOs, foundations, and the World Bank Group. Articles and interviews cover these and many other topics:
- Innovations in agricultural extension programs: seeding knowledge
- Warehouse financing: receipts that pay
- Storage solutions: solving the problem of plenty
- From muck to money: reinventing the economics of sanitation
- Desalination for agriculture: the time has come
- New technology for agriculture and rural development: online and on time
- Q&As with Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute; Prabhu Pingali, Deputy Director of Agricultural Development at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; AgDevCo Executive Chairman Keith Palmer; and Nina Planck, founder of the modern farmer’s market movement.
Handshake is a free digital magazine. Prior issues can be found at www.ifc.org/handshake.
