The proposal is innovative. It is targeting a resilient local variety of rice, which can withstand climate variability. The Judges' comments from previous round were addressed in the updated version of the proposal.
The judges liked that it is targeting a resilient local variety of rice, which can withstand climate variability.

Feedback from the judges:
Great proposal to save a disappearing food crop while addressing environmental sustainability, market linkages, and economic empowerment. Please make the following changes to strengthen the proposal.
1. Include more detail in the budget.
2. Describe the projected economic sustainability of the project given the absence of a proven market and price premium for glaberrima.
3. Address the potential risks and unintended consequences of the project.
