At the Swedish Pavilion at COP29, Rupali Mehra, CMO and Head of Asia at Spowdi, posed a critical question: “What happens when one-third of the world’s food producers can’t afford to farm anymore?” Spowdi’s smart farming innovation tackles this by enabling small, rural farmers in food-growing regions to produce more with less – saving up to 80% water and supporting sustainable livelihoods. Together, we can secure food and water for future generations. Let’s act now. Lear more about Sweden at COP29: https://brnw.ch/21wORKC #SWedenClimateMatchmaker #COP29 #PioneerThePossible
