World Food Prize

The World Food Prize is an international award that recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to improving the quality and availability of food worldwide. Established in 1986 by Norman Borlaug, the "Father of the Green Revolution," the prize acknowledges efforts to combat global hunger.12

Global food security, the state where all people have sufficient access to nutritious food, is a critical concern. Factors like conflict, economic instability, and inequality contribute to food insecurity, affecting billions globally. Organizations like the World Food Programme work to alleviate hunger through aid distribution and by promoting sustainable agriculture, aiming to achieve the UN's goal of Zero Hunger.32
