Globally, 500 million smallholders produce 80% of human food. Many grow cereals including rice. Millions live daily with food and fuel poverty. For 3.5 billion people today (6 billion by 2050) rice is literally life. Rice processing is an antiquated global industry locked into a wasteful embedded culture driven by vested commercial interest. Imagine a world with a re-balanced value chain, enabling smallholders to transition from commodity to market leading, value added producers. Contributing to Food Security, Sustainability and Poverty Alleviation, Koolmill’s agri-tech solution offers smallholders all millers an accessible affordable process solution that will increase incomes, employment and health.

    • Thank you very much for incorporate this relevant issue to the food system discussion. Youth people need to be supported and find new ways to be establish in the field and the food system as a whole. 

      I believe, by the way, that the role of new technologies and the relationship with new youth jobs in agricultural sector and food systems is relevant.  The role of rural education and its relationship with innovation and promotion activities involved with agroecological approach and new technical support is relevant. 

      Other issue is related with PERIURBAN AREAS, where poor people and youth people live. There, there is a lot to study, understand and support. 

      The relationship of agroecology, health food system and new roles for food promotion and consume must to be study. 

      The relation ship of agroecology, youth people and social and solidarity economy could offer a road to reach to the SDGs in terms of erradicate poverty, food unsecurity, rural education, etc.
