153 winners of Nobel and World Food prizes seek new ways to grow food to meet surging global need
Tuesday, 14 January 2025 ()
More than 150 recipients of the Nobel and World Food prizes have released an open letter calling for a dramatic increase in research and a commitment to new food distribution efforts. The goal is to produce more crops and avoid a global hunger crisis in coming decades. The letter was released Tuesday. It says an estimated 700 million people now are “food insecure and desperately poor.” But it adds that without a “moonshot” approach to growing more and different kinds of food, far more people will be in dire need of food because of climate change and population growth. Despite the potential gloom, the letter holds out hope for the future if people take needed actions.
