Rikolto (International)

YPARD in collaboration with FAO and Rikolto will organise an interactive workshop where young farmers can interact, learn and share best practices, with a focus on strengthening rural and urban linkages for sustainable food and agriculture.

On January 16, the EAT-Lancet Commission, a group of 30 world-leading scientists from across the globe, released a landmark report on Food, Planet and Health, in which they discuss this Great Food Transformation. In this article we look at a few solutions that Rikolto teams across the globe are already harvesting today to make the Great Food Transformation actually happen.

Integrated farming models, which combine rice cultivation and aquaculture (either fish or shrimp), have been implemented for decades in the Mekong Delta. This model enables the sustainable intensification of food production while diversifying income and decreasing farmers’ vulnerability to crop failure.

Are we romanticizing the economic potential of smallholder farmers? Does working on the inclusion of smallholder farmers in food chains increase the dominance of big business? These were the guiding questions in an exchange between Belgian funded NGOs, together with farmer organisations, researchers, national commodity associations and local governmental agencies in Arusha area, northern Tanzania.

We are looking for a manager in charge of coordinating finances and the quality of operations and processes throughout the organisation. This is an interesting position where you're responsible for ensuring that Rikolto‘s financial system is top of sector and the organisation has the best working environment and processes in place. You have the power to make Rikolto and its personnel – much happier. New deadline for application: 21/01/2019
