About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

A sustainable income for farmers and nutritious, affordable food for everyone. This is what Rikolto works for. We reach our goals by building bridges between smallholder farmer organisations, companies, authorities and other actors across rural and urban areas. Together, we create innovative ways of accessing, distributing and producing nutritious, quality food, so no one is left behind. Through our global network, we wish to inspire others to tackle with us the inter-related challenges of food insecurity, climate change, and economic inequality. Because a better world starts on our plate. Our communication is a key part of the puzzle: we show how Rikolto – in partnership with other organisations – is tackling the above-mentioned issues by proposing innovative and inclusive solutions. We aim for a communication that embodies the power of partnerships and collaboration, not a traditional view on “development cooperation”.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
