I like competitions. I thinks prizes spur people. I also think they need to be widely promulgated. Which is why I’m a little ashamed that I didn’t even know that the World Bank’s annual jamboree for low cost solutions for agricultural development is practically over. There’s good money at stake: 100 finalists are hoping to be one of the lucky 25 who will share a $4 million pot. Winners will be announced tomorrow, Friday, and the World Bank’s web site promises a live webcast from 9.30 to 11.00 EDT. ((Alas, that counts me out of the viewing.)) Meanwhile, there are loads of video interviews with some of the hopeful aspirants, but because they are Mac unfriendly I’m unable to watch and share my opinions. No matter; maybe some of you would care to predict whether Use of Ancient Legume in Novel Food Products is a worthier project than Turning Prisoners into Farmers.
