The World Food Prize Foundation, with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, invites nominations for the first annual "Norman Borlaug Award for Field Research and Application."
The award will go to an individual under age 40 who works directly in the field -- or at the production or processing level -- with farmers, animal herders, fishers, or others in rural communities.
The award can be made to individuals in any discipline or enterprise across the chain of food production, processing, and distribution. The amount of the award is US$10 thousand.
Nominations should be submitted before 30 June 2012. Link
