The World Food Prize Foundation

Top Agri-Food Pioneers

In Spring of 2024, the World Food Prize Foundation opened submissions for Top Agri-food Pioneers (TAP), a new initiative by the Foundation. The 2024 list featured 38 leading innovators. In 2025, 39 innovators from across the world working to transform food systems will be recognized in honor of the Foundation’s 39th anniversary. 

The TAP list features pioneers of any age, background or career focus working in fields related to food or agriculture. Those selected in the 2024 list comprised the first cohort of TAP, and the 2025 recipients will build on this network of trailblazers to facilitate co-learning and collaboration across food systems. They will also be featured at the 2025 Borlaug Dialogue in Des Moines, Iowa. 

Any institution or individual may submit a name for consideration for TAP.
