The Challenge
How do you address one of agriculture’s most pressing issues?
The agriculture sector accounts for 69% of annual water withdrawals globally (FAO) – and its availability is diminishing. We set out to create and launch a challenge that looked at how to prevent water loss in irrigation.
The Solution
Introducing the Innovate Irrigation Challenge
Our initiative was designed to encourage creative solutions to assist AB Sugar in meeting its sustainability commitments and drive innovation in irrigation.
The Innovate Irrigation Challenge ran for 24 hours, attracting entrants from around the world. An integrated media, social and influencer campaign helped drive entries and raise the profile of the company as a sustainability leader.
