SINGAPORE - To lift small-holder farmers out of poverty, a team from India gives them cheap solar-powered dryers and food processing equipment to turn excess produce into valuable products – a lifeline to an additional source of income.

For its efforts, S4S was awarded the Earthshot Prize on Tuesday evening at a ceremony held at Mediacorp Theatre in Singapore. In his speech, Prince William said: “Our winners and finalists remind us that no matter where you are on the planet, the spirit of ingenuity and the ability to inspire change remains.”

Guests walked down an aptly-coloured green carpet, and many of them wore pre-loved outfits or ensembles made of sustainable materials. “Protecting wildlife goes hand in hand with everything we’re talking about here tonight – you can’t have a healthy population of wild animals without clean air, without fixing our climate problem, without cleaning our oceans... So tonight is a really great way to create some real optimistic change for the world and help wildlife along the way.”
