Platform for Agricultural Risk Management is the global partnership on agricultural risk management for development.
Agri-journalists have an opportunity to benefit a field visit and learn from United Nations’ (UN) projects in agricultural risk management, in a new challenge to highlight stories of innovations by smallholder farmers to manage agricultural risks.
This is through the Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM) and Africa 21 Challenge, dubbed the PARM Stories Challenge, launched on September 26, 2023 inviting journalists to create documentary-style videos highlighting stories of rural farmers who have developed innovative initiatives to manage agricultural risks, as part of the celebration of World Food Day and the International Day of Rural Women.
