Which one of the following is the correct
description of “100 Million Farmers”?
AOptions
A
A) It is a platform for accelerating the transition towards food and water systems that are net-zero (carbon), nature-positive and that aims to increase farmer resilience.
B
B) It is an international alliance and a network of individuals and farming organisations interested in supporting and strengthening the development of the organic animal husbandry.
C
C) It is a digital platform fully integrated with service providers and built on blockchain that lets buyers, sellers and third parties trade fertilizers quickly and securely.
D
D) It is a platform with the mission of encouraging the farmers to form Farmer Product Organisations or Agribusiness Consortiums, thus facilitating the access to global open markets to sell their products.
BSolution
The term "100 Million Farmers" is often associated with initiatives promoting sustainable and resilient agriculture on a large scale. Option A accurately reflects a common set of goals for such large-scale agricultural transformation initiatives in the context of climate change and environmental sustainability.
While the exact phrasing "100 Million Farmers" might not refer to one single, universally recognized specific organization or platform with that precise name, among the given options, option A describes the ambitious and multifaceted goals commonly found in contemporary global agricultural development initiatives aimed at sustainability, climate action, and farmer empowerment. These goals include: achieving net-zero carbon footprints, promoting nature-positive practices (regenerative agriculture, biodiversity conservation), and enhancing the resilience of farmers to climate shocks.
Options B, C, and D describe more specific, narrower mandates (organic animal husbandry, blockchain for fertilizers, FPOs for market access), which might be components of larger initiatives but do not capture the holistic and ambitious scope implied by '100 Million Farmers' in the context of broader sustainable food system transformation discussions, as option A does. Option A aligns with broader international and national policy dialogues around climate-smart agriculture and sustainable food systems.

CStrategy
For terms referring to large-scale initiatives, look for comprehensive descriptions that encompass environmental, social, and economic aspects. Discard options that are too narrow or focus on a very specific technology or sub-sector unless explicitly stated. Think about the broader context of sustainable development goals.
