WINNERS 2022
LAUNCHED IN 2020 BY HRH PRINCE WILLIAM, THE EARTHSHOT PRIZE IS THE WORLD’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PRIZE.
Following a rigorous, 10-month selection process, a panel of expert advisors selected Kheyti from more than 1,000 nominations.
Five Prize winners were selected from innovators from around the world who have developed game-changing solutions in five categories – Protect and Restore Nature, Revive our Oceans, Clean our Air, Build a Waste-free World, and Fix our Climate.
We are the winner of the “Protect and Restore Nature” category, making Indian farmers more climate resilient and Indian agriculture more sustainable through its “Greenhouse-in-a-box solution.
We will receive a £1 million award and tailored support from The Earthshot Prize Global Alliance, an unrivaled network of world-leading philanthropies, NGOs, and private sector businesses around the world who will help scale OUR solution.
THE PRIZE.
In its second year, The Earthshot Prize had a global nine-month search process. Over 1000 applications from around the world were considered, with 15 finalists from 10 countries chosen through a selection process supported by an expert advisory panel.
The final five winners were selected by The Earthshot Prize Council, a diverse team of influential individuals which include HRH Prince William, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Sir David Attenborough, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Indra Nooyi, Shakira Mebarak, Christiana Figueres, Luisa Neubauer, Cate Blanchett, Yao Ming, Daniel Alves Da Silva, Ernest Gibson, Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, Jack Ma, and Naoko Yamazaki.
“I believe that the Earthshot solutions you have seen this evening prove we can overcome our planet’s greatest challenges. And by supporting and scaling them we can change our future.
Alongside tonight’s winners and finalists, and those to be discovered over the years to come, it’s my hope the Earthshot legacy will continue to grow, helping our communities and our planet to thrive.”
– THE PRINCE OF WALES
“The idea of Kheyti started from a simple dream – that the hard work of half a billion farmers across the world should pay off. The only reason our vision persevered is because others shared that dream – our team, our families and most importantly, our 1,000+ farmers who took a chance with us. Congratulations to all of THEM.
“This is just the beginning. We aim to help a million farmers within 10 years, and this prize will help us invest in a solid foundation for that ambition. Thank you for helping us ignite the smart farmer revolution!”
– CO-FOUNDER AND CEO, KAUSHIK KAPPAGANTULU
