WINnERS (SLU) The World Food Programme has pledged to buy at least $120 million each year in agricultural products from smallholder farmers. Climate-KIC’s innovation project WINnERS is at the core of its resilient food supply chains strategy. Its innovative weather-index insurance products help global food companies diversify their sourcing and mitigate any associated risks to their business by sourcing from African smallholders. IMPACT: boosting global food system climate resilience & productivity STAGE: in 2017, a contract was signed with a global re-assurance company to deliver the WINnERS innovation and insurance product to 40,000 farmers in the East Africa SCALE: 80,000 more farmers in Tanzania and Kenya will be targeted in 2017, before expansion into Rwanda, Zaire, Uganda, & Cote d’Ivoire WINnERS’ outstanding research solves the problem for the World Food Programme, a major international food programme, in getting banks/multi-nationals to engage with smallholders without market access. More than 50 percent of food and fibre supply chain disruptions are due to storms and droughts – something climate change is likely to exacerbate. Food supply chains and producers will need support to deal with climate change risks such as weather variability, planting seasons unpredictability or threats from pests and disease.  Insurance to date has been based on conventional climate risk assessments, which for agriculture,  mostly focus on average crop yield vulnerability in climate and adaptation scenarios.  These assessments are uncertain in projections over years and do not offer regional or local scale. For example, rain thresholds are established over a large geographical area based on historical rainfall patterns. In addition, micro insurance for adaptation purposes to date has focused only on the smallholder as the insurance policy holder and placing risk on the smallholders and the insurers. This has led to a failure in scaling up.  How the innovation works  WINnERS comprises five work streams across Climate Change and Extremes, Weather and Agriculture Risk, Contract Design, Rural Adaptation, Regulatory Framework. The work streams integrate multiple rainfall data sets, satellite monitoring, and predictions of the likelihood of extreme weather events to develop and design an insurance contract.  State-of-the-art weather and climate modelling technology measures the risk exposure that retailers, buyers, banks, and smallholder farmers will face in the future. At the farm level, the  likelihood of an extreme weather event and its severity can be predicted across areas as small as 5 x 5 km. This information is then integrated into agricultural insurance contracts that share risk between the various actors of a particular supply chain.  Weather-driven risk helps distribute producer risk across the supply chain – buyers are insured against price surges, farmers against price plunges, or banks against loss through re-insurance. Food cooperatives, banks, and food buyers—who are better able to manage and afford insurance – are the policy holders. Naked Energy Ltd is an award winning British design and innovation company specialising in solar technology and energy conservation. The company is developing ‘Virtu’ ® a revolutionary and patented hybrid solar panel that generates both electricity and heat for commercial and industrial applications. Naked Energy will be starting pilots in 2016 with support from DECC and the EIT. – watch this space. Naked Energy claims its combination of photovoltaic cells in an evacuated tube collector results in higher electrical output and exceptional thermal performance. NEED: Energy efficiency, renewable energy MARKET: market ready REGION: Manufacturing for customers in the UK, Europe and North America. End of last year the start-up inked an agreement with US-based manufacturing giant Jabil to scale up the production of its hybrid solar technology, Virtu. PROPERTY TYPE: any?
