World Food Prize Laureate Announcement
Each year, the World Food Prize Foundation awards the World Food Prize, which recognizes--without regard to race, religion, nationality or political beliefs--the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world. The recipient is announced each spring during an invitation-only event. The World Food Prize is officially awarded during the Laureate Award Ceremony in October at a ceremony at the Iowa Capitol in Des Moines.
