H2Grow - An Introduction by Nina Schroder
With its dry climate and sand dunes, the Algerian desert seems an unlikely place for barley – or any other crop – to grow. Yet, with the support of the Innovation Accelerator, World Food Programme Algeria is using low-tech hydroponic containers to support remote refugee camps, home to tens of thousands of Sahrawi refugees.
The WFP Innovation Accelerator sources, supports and scales high-potential solutions to end hunger worldwide. We provide WFP staff, entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies and non-governmental organizations with access to funding, mentorship, hands-on support and WFP operations.
