South African wins Agripreneur of the year award

After looking at 50 participants from five continents Claire Reid, founder of South African agri-tech startup Reel Gardening, has been named winner of the Agripreneur of the Year Award in the Future Agro Challenge (FAC).

Disrupt Africa reported last month that innovators in the food, agri-tech and agriculture space were set to compete for the Agripreneur of the Year title at the third FAC Global Championships.

Reid was named the winner of the Agripreneur of the Year award for Reel Gardening, which produces Biodegradable Seed Tape, a seed system that can be grown into a vegetable or herb garden. It has also developed an app that helps users through planting and growing their gardens.

“A warm congratulations to Claire Reid, we are excited that our championship was held for the first time in its third leg in South Africa and ended up crowning a South African as the most innovative agripreneur,” said Carla Tanas, co-founder of FAC.
