India-Born Scientist Sanjaya Rajaram Named Winner Of 2014 World Food Prize
The World Food Prize Foundation President and the former US Ambassador to Cambodia, Kenneth M Quinn, said the 2014 World Food Prize Laureate is an individual who worked closely with Dr Borlaug in Mexico and who then carried forward and extended his work, breaking new ground with his own achievements.
"We are grateful for the hundreds of new species of wheat Dr Rajaram developed, which deliver 200 million more tonnes of grain to global markets each year and feed millions across the world," Kerry added.
The top diplomat also talked about Feed the Future, a presidential global hunger and food security initiative, through which the U.S.is establishing a foundation for lasting progress against global hunger.
"Feed the Future supports a research agenda to harness scientific innovation and technology in agriculture," he said.
The World Food Prize was established in 1986 by Borlaug in order to focus the world's attention on hunger and on those whose work has significantly helped efforts to end it.
This year marks the 28th anniversary of the prize, which recognises individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world.
