Cultiv@te – Innovation for Sustainable Development

The UN Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with the Government of Singapore and other partners launched a global technology and innovation initiative for sustainable agriculture titled ‘Cultiv@te’. The initiative aims to transform agricultural practices in developing countries in light of the sector’s increasing impact on climate change and the global pressure of food insecurity. The initiative brings together a coalition of partners and stakeholders that want to bring technology and innovation where it is most needed, combining globally-leading innovation with local knowledge, expertise and market insights. The programme offers mature growth-stage startups and R&D; teams from academic institutions a unique opportunity to work in a number of emerging markets with immense potential and needs.
