Solution Search: Farming for Biodiversity is looking to identify and reward
the most promising approaches to conserving biodiversity on agricultural
lands. You could win up to $30,000 with additional side prizes for
community/social impact, food security/nutrition impact, biodiversity
impact and water impact. All finalists will attend a capacity-building
workshop and awards ceremony in New York, NY, USA, with some of the biggest
names in conservation and development.

Examples of potential entries include:
•       Sustainable land use management that integrates the consideration
of biodiversity and ecosystems
•       Alternative pest control practices that reduce toxic run-off into
local water sources
•       Organic farming methods that increase soil biodiversity (or other
species)
•       Livestock control measures that protect local flora and fauna
•       Innovative approaches that reduce human-animal conflicts in
agricultural zones

To learn more, nominate someone or enter your solutions, please visit
www.solutionsearch.org before *next Friday, March 10, 2017.*

Contest partners include Rare, IFOAM-Organics International, Convention on
