Which one of the following is the correct description of "100 Million Farmers"?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

The 100 Million Farmers is a global initiative launched by the World Economic Forum (WEF). It serves as a platform to accelerate the transition toward food and water systems that are net-zero, nature-positive, and resilient. The program aims to support 100 million farmers by 2030 in adopting regenerative agriculture practices, which improve soil health, sequester carbon, and enhance biodiversity while securing farmer livelihoods.

Option B is Incorrect: This description refers to general organic animal husbandry networks, whereas the 100 Million Farmers initiative focuses on broader regenerative agriculture and climate-resilient food systems.

Option C is Incorrect: This describes a blockchain-based fertilizer trading platform, which is not the objective of this initiative.

Option D is Incorrect: While farmer collectives are important, the primary mission of "100 Million Farmers" is the transition to sustainable, net-zero, and nature-positive agricultural practices rather than just facilitating market access through FPOs.
