It is the first award in Latin America to recognize citizen initiatives that are part of the solution. We received 81 proposals from 8 countries, and 14 finalist projects competed for a $500 prize to scale their projects. The organization El Transformador from Bogotá won with the project “Buen Provecho, a gesture that feeds,” which aims to prevent and reduce food waste in stores and homes, addressing the social and environmental issues they represent regarding hunger and greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative involves rescuing unsold food and transporting it on bicycles to Buen Provecho points to promote its consumption.
