WHAT: In the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic agricultural landscapes, the World Food Prize Foundation, in collaboration with CIMMYT, the Borlaug Institute for South Asia and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) will convene DialogueNEXT on September 8–9, 2025, at the ICAR Convention Center in New Delhi, India.
The theme, Take it to the Farmer draws inspiration from Dr. Norman E. Borlaug’s enduring call to focus global attention on those who serve as the backbone of agriculture. These five words continue to echo across fields, laboratories and policy halls—reminding us that the future of food must be sown in partnership with the hands that harvest it.

WHERE: ICAR Convention Center in New Delhi, India.

WHY: With a central focus on farmers, DialogueNEXT in India will explore frontier innovations in agri-tech, climate- and water-smart practices, youth leadership and nutritious food systems. Most critically, farmers themselves will serve as central storytellers—ensuring that conversations are aimed at practical, impactful results.
