The Food Avalanche helped to fourteen thousand people
One hundred and seventy tons of crops were harvested this year, from the lands of 52 governmental and non-profit organizations within the program of the Hungarian Food Bank Association and the Syngenta’s Food Avalanche Program. The crops were produced with the assistance of the needy and were distributed to 14 thousand people in need.
This year's extreme drought posed huge challenges to the experienced farmers as well, so it is definitely gratifying that the applicants were able to harvest so high volume in 2015 the from their lands – Czigány Tibor, Chief Executive of Syngenta said.
A social marketing program received first prize this year in the Most Successful Partnerships category at the Social Investments Awards ceremony of the Hungarian Donors Forum.
