Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It is a platform for accelerating the transition towards food and water systems that are net-zero (carbon), nature-positive and that aims to increase farmer resilience.
Answer: A. 100 Million Farmers is a platform for net-zero, nature-positive food and water systems with farmer resilience.
The '100 Million Farmers' initiative was launched by the World Economic Forum in 2021. Its stated mission is to accelerate the transition of food and water systems toward being net-zero (carbon), nature-positive and resilient, with farmers at the centre of the transition. Target geographies include India, Vietnam and East African nations.
Distractor B is wrong as it describes an organic husbandry network, not the 100 Million Farmers platform. C describes a blockchain-based fertilizer trading platform, not this initiative. D describes broader FPO/agribusiness consortium platforms, not 100 Million Farmers.
