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

Show answer

Answer: A. 100 Million Farmers is a World Economic Forum platform launched in 2021. It aims to move food and water systems towards net-zero emissions and being nature-positive, while increasing farmers' resilience, by getting 100 million farmers to adopt climate-smart practices by 2030.

Watch for: Every option sounds like a farmer-welfare scheme; the key words are net-zero and nature-positive.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Wrong because that describes an organic livestock network, not the WEF 100 Million Farmers platform.
  • C. Wrong because 100 Million Farmers is not a blockchain fertiliser-trading platform.
  • D. Wrong because its aim is climate and nature goals, not forming Farmer Producer Organisations for export markets.
