In the expansive landscape of agri-food innovation, it is important to recognize and celebrate the remarkable pioneers reshaping our global food systems for the better. The World Food Prize Foundation invites you to submit the name of a trailblazer whose work has substantively impacted the productivity, sustainability or inclusiveness of our food systems. 

TAP is not just an acronym; it is an innovative call to action to celebrate the extraordinary pioneers whose stories deserve a spotlight on the Top Agri-food Pioneers (TAP) List. A total of 39 pioneers will be chosen in 2025 (to align with the World Food Prize Foundation’s 39th anniversary) from amongst the submissions received. ‘TAP’ your most deserving pioneer TODAY using the form below.
