The third prize

Kentaro Sohara, Giovanni Bruno, Kaori Kawarazaki, Lisa Koga, Melba Catania / Politecnico di Milano, Italy.



The third-place winner, Rice Bran Foundation, by Kentaro Sohara, Giovanni Bruno, Kaori Kawarazaki, Lisa Koga, Melba Catania – students from Politecnico di Milano, Italy is a system to contribute to the fight against hunger using rice bran following the example of Japan where the bran has been used for various purposes. The Rice Bran Foundation is a program that creates economic value from rice bran that would otherwise be discarded in Italy and converts the proceeds into fertilizer making kits that can be used in developing countries for distribution. This will enable rice farmers to create their own organic fertilizer, helping them to have higher productivity and bringing climate resilience into their soil and rice production.
