BioAward Category - Health Equity: The Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda offer majestic, sacred spaces yet the Bakonzo tribe who live there battle with healthy equity – 50%+ stunting of kids – and are forgotten by the world. Our multi-disciplinary team is building a “digital food system” that tethers crop transport drones, (saving hours walking to markets to improve income), with a contextualized nutrition regime monitored with digital health tools. The program could help 300 million mountainous poor to improve income and nutrition.
