World Food Prize 2025 Nomination Call

World Food Prize is accepting nominations for the year 2025. The World Food Prize is the most important international award that recognizes the achievements of people who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity, or availability of food in the world. The World Food Award is awarded for a specific, exceptionally significant individual achievement that promotes human development with a demonstrable increase in food quantity, quality, availability, or access through creative interventions at any point within the total scope of the food system. The World Food Prize is an opportunity to win a prize of $ 500,000 that will be formally presented at the Laureate Awards Ceremony in mid-October, on or around World Food Day, in conjunction with the international Borlaug Dialogue symposium.

  • It must be demonstrated that this exceptionally significant achievement has resulted in a demonstrable increase in the quantity, quality, availability, or access to food for a large number of people.
  • The impact of this work must be measurable, quantifiable, or otherwise demonstrated in terms of reducing poverty, hunger, or suffering or improving health, nutrition, quality of life, and well-being.
  • It must be clearly demonstrated that this increase in food security is the direct result of the candidate’s specific actions and activities; that is, without their specific fulfillment, no change would have occurred.
  • A candidate must be alive and healthy enough to attend the World Food Prize award ceremony. The nominee must be able to deliver an acceptance speech and agree to participate in selected media events and the World Food Prize World Youth Institute at the time of the awards ceremony.
  • The prize is intended to be awarded to one person. In exceptional circumstances where one or more additional people have collaborated in an indispensable way, more than one person may be included in the application. However, it must be conclusively shown that each person has contributed in an essential way and that without everyone’s contribution, no achievement would have been possible. The World Food Prize Selection Committee will determine whether a joint nomination meets these criteria and, in cases where it judges that this standard has not been met, will limit the number of people considered.
  • Any academic institution, private or public organization, or government unit can submit a nomination for the World Food Prize.
  • Such an entity may submit as many applications as it deems appropriate. All applications are confidential, and the identities of the nominators and the organizations proposing them are strictly confidential.
  • Individuals can generate applications, but they must be approved and submitted through an academic institution, private or public organization, or government unit. Self-nominations will not be considered.
  • Applicants remain eligible for three years from the year of submission. Proposers are encouraged to provide up-to-date information during this period. After this three-year period, a new application must be submitted for the candidate to continue to be considered. The selection committee may decide to extend the eligibility period for applications deemed worthy of further consideration.
