过去的获奖者

The 2019 Prize was awarded to a pioneering landscape mapping that’s re-imagining subsistence farming in 埃塞俄比亚.

创新 Mapping for Food Security (IM4FS) – co-led by Dr Tomaso Ceccarelli of 瓦赫宁根 University Research and Dr Elias Eyasu Fantahun of Addis Ababa University – recommends “best-fit” combinations of crops, farming practices and environmental and socio-economic conditions to optimise smallholder yields of staple crops in food insecure areas.

Applied at scale, it has the potential to transform productivity in countries like 埃塞俄比亚, hit by food insecurity.
