REFT Local Heroes 2020 Challenge

REFT 2020 is a program organized by Thought For Food® and a group of highly enthusiastic youths in order to address another pressing crisis i.e Food Crisis which can be seen in a different part of the world and within the country as well. It has caused restrictions on the movements of people and transportation, factory closures for an unprecedented period of time, hoarding and stockpiling of food. All these have made an impact on the circulation, and availability of food and agricultural products, also interrupting several value chains, with a potential hike on prices of raw materials and food. All but pointing to inevitable food insecurity and hunger in Nepal throughout 2020.
