Borlaug Field Award: Help Eliminate Global Hunger, 2015

The World Food Prize invites nominations for The Borlaug Field Award targeted to individuals who have been actively working for field research and application in the area of food production and distribution. This award will recognize exceptional, science-based achievement in international agriculture and food production by an individual under 40 who has clearly demonstrated intellectual courage, stamina, and determination in the fight to eliminate global hunger and poverty. The award will honor an individual who is working closely and directly “in the field” or at the production or processing level with farmers, animal herders, fishers or others in rural communities, in any discipline or enterprise across the entire food production, processing, and distribution chain.

Grants
The award of $10 000 is intended to be presented to one person for field research. In unusual and rare circumstances, another person may share the award for pronounced collaborative efforts and achievement.
