Six initiatives were awarded a prize of R$ 100,000 each in the categories of combating hunger, reducing food waste, and promoting food security. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 26th (Thursday), the Pact Against Hunger movement announced the six winners of the 1st edition of the Pact Against Hunger Award, which aims to recognize initiatives from the third sector working to promote food security, combat hunger, and reduce food waste. The entities Org\u00e2nico Solid\u00e1rio (SP), Novo Sert\u00e3o (PI), C\u00e1ritas Brasileira (RR), Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra (PE), Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Good Truck Brasil (PR), and Associa\u00e7\u00e3o de Resgate da Dignidade Humana (RO) were the winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Pact Against Hunger Award rewarded the winning initiatives with R$ 100,000 and business management mentoring from XP Investimentos. The projects also received a trophy signed by the artist Vik Muniz and will have a mini-documentary showcasing their work and impact on society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to give visibility to those who already do, already know, and already act. We are here to connect bridges and add knowledge. Those who are hungry cannot wait. We can end hunger in Brazil, and for that, we need a sense of urgency and indignation turned into action. Only together will we get there, with studies and planning, but with speed.\u201d<\/em>Said Geyze Diniz, co-founder and president of the Pact Against Hunger, to GLMRM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Geyze and the businessman and producer Konrad Dantas, better known as Kondzilla, as hosts, the award ceremony counted on the sponsors and supporters of the award \u2013 Ambipar Group<\/strong>, Arezzo&Co, XP Investimentos, and Ponte a Ponte Consultoria \u2013, and authorities, including the mayor of S\u00e3o Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, and the Minister of Agrarian Development and Family Farming, Paulo Teixeira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT THE AWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>The first stage took place at the Pact Against Hunger Hub, a platform to connect, map, and give visibility to initiatives from all sectors. The selection process took place in 3 stages: registration and eligibility, evaluation by the technical jury, and compliance evaluation conducted by XP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection criteria were the potential for replication, scalability, relevance, and impact. The level of collaboration was also one of the prioritized criteria (how the initiative articulates its activities with other sectors), the priority for black leadership, and actions in the North and Northeast and\/or in traditional communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the 310 initiatives registered for the award, more than half of the participants (55%) are led by black and brown individuals, and 61% of them are led by women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the selection, a jury of nine people was formed, including representatives from civil society, the third sector, researchers and academics, the public sector, including names such as Aline Czezacki (FAO), Gustavo Porpino (EMBRAPA), Iara Rolnik (INSTITUTO IBIRAPITANGA), Luiz Gusi (CURITIBA CITY HALL), Regina Tchelly (FAVELA ORG\u00c2NICA), and Rosana Sperandio (UNESCO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
