We are delighted to share that QuinoaHub, was recognized as a VACS champion by the US Department of State's Office of Global Food Security due to our dedication to progressing sustainable food security through fostering research and development of novel crops. VACS stands for the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils. It was launched in February 2023 by the U.S. Department of State in partnership with the African Union and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The initiative seeks to foster more resilient food systems through a focus on diverse, nutritious, climate-adapted crops and healthy soils. We are honored to join other VACS champions, including Bayer AG, Catholic Relief Services, ADM, Concern Worldwide, Grow Further, and the One Acre Fund. By developing improved cultivars of novel crops and adopting ecologically rooted production practices, we strive to strengthen local food sovereignty and improve the availability and affordability of nutrient-rich foods. We are grateful to our leadership team Cedric Habiyaremye, Olivier NDAYIRAMIJE, the QuinoaHub Team, as well as all our partners including farmers and research collaborators such as the Sustainable Seed Systems Lab at Washington State University, Brigham Young University, and many others who have been part of on this journey. #VACSChampion #GlobalFoodSecurity #SustainableFarming #NovelCropsResearch #FoodSovereignty #NutrientRichFoods #InnovationInAgriculture #ClimateResilientCrops #HealthySoilsInitiative
