Here are the winners of our photo contest.

We had a hard time picking a winner. Some of the entries that creatively expressed the Future of Family Farming unfortunately were too small to be able to be printed in the magazine, others gave a beautiful impression of family farming but did not really address the theme.

WINNERS OF THE PHOTO CONTEST 2009

1st prize
Emy Grace I. Wallares, the winner of the photo contest provided both a good quality picture and expressed a view on the theme. Congratulations, Emy Grace I. Wallares from the Philippines! We will be sending you a netbook.
2nd prize
The second prize, a digital camera, goes to Gbenga Dada from Nigeria who, in an original way, expressed what several of you have been telling us in your letters: returning to farming offers families a better chance at a secure future than trying to make it in the city.
3rd prize
The third prize (the radio with nine functions) is for Julie Carney from Gardens for Health in Rwanda. Her photo is taken at a co-operative community garden for people living with HIV/AIDS. In a country where more than 10 percent of the people face food insecurity, gardens like these make the future look a little brighter.


10 USB-sticks will receive:
Ellen Geerlings
Calistus Jong, Cameroon
Elor Anthony Aya
Nwogwugwu U.C.C
Cristina Martinez-Canton
Niraj Koirala, Nepal
