Synopsis (short abstract) The Global AgriInno Challenge, co-organized by FAO and Zhejiang University, is an annual open-innovation sprint that scouts, trains and funds youth-led solutions for sustainable agrifood systems. Each edition kicks off with a world-wide call, narrows hundreds of submissions to 8–12 finalist teams, then plunges them into a 36-hour Innovation for Good training session with mentors, investors and FAO data sets. Finalists pitch live for seed grants, a seat at the FAO Science & Innovation Forum, and fast-track entry into the Digital Agriculture Bootcamp. Past themes ranged from AI for inclusion (2024) to climate-smart supply chains (2025); 44 teams have already secured financing and pilot slots across 97 countries, turning the challenge into a proven launch-pad for women- and youth-powered ag-tech ventures.

    The Global AgriInno Challenge (GAC) is held annually by FAO and ZJU jointly as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two institutions. GAC intends to build a platform of various resources for youth innovators and agri-tech entrepreneurs, meanwhile enabling a global network that links youth to diverse stakeholders in the agrifood systems, including international organizations, government institutions, academia and research institute, and the private sector. From 2020 to 2023, the GAC has attracted over 1044 youth participants in 427 teams from over 65 countries, applying to showcase their innovative solutions to the world. FAO has established a professional network through collaboration with various partners, including international organizations, research institutes, leading industry companies, and investment organizations. Following the success of GAC 2020-2022, and with the renewal of the MoU in 2024, FAO and ZJU hope to further improve the brand’s influence, enhance the cohesion of the two institutions, and better face the challenges with the use of new emerging technologies.
