The Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium is held each year in conjunction with the awarding of the World Food Prize. This annual "Davos-type" dialogue brings together international experts and policy leaders to address cutting-edge issues in food security and nutrition.

Through the International Symposium, known informally as the Borlaug Dialogue, the World Food Prize Foundation helps build alliances in the struggle against world hunger and malnutrition. These efforts help to promote health, enhanced nutrition, and safety both at home and abroad with the first-ever conference to simultaneously address obesity and malnutrition and the first post-9/11 conference anywhere to address agroterrorism.
