C
It is a digital platform fully integrated with service providers and built on blockchain that lets buyers, sellers and third parties trade fertilizers quickly and securely.

Explanation

100 Million Farmers is a World Economic Forum initiative that brings together businesses, governments and farmer organisations to speed up the transition to food and water systems that are net-zero and nature-positive, while making farmers more resilient. It is not an organic livestock network, a blockchain fertiliser marketplace or a scheme to promote farmer producer organisations.
