Enpowerment Women in Agrifood 2024 Program organized by EIT Food and AWomanCanBe.org ( Vanessa Archontidou & Angela Pantazi) has been for a second consecutive year an amazing six month journey for me as a EWA's Greece Project Leader. The cornerstone has been the piching event organised on the 21st of November at Atraktos in Athens along with a conference titled "Artificial Intelligence & Startups in Agri-Food". Lots of shared thoughts on how to address the challenges and reap the opportunities of the women empowerment in Agrifood sector in a constant changing environment.
After presenting their ideas to the jury Gerasimos Tzamarelos , Maria Partalidou and Frangiskos Theofilaktos, three outstanding EWA projects were recognised:1st Prize (€10,000): Koutsouradi Argyro, founder of Myrovolos Organics,, blending tradition and technology to produce premium organic herbs on the island of Chios.
2nd Prize (€5,000): Aspasia-Sofia Pastrikou Votanikos Farms on the island of Kos, which produces fresh and dried botanicals and herbs.
