DialogueNEXT

This year marks a pivotal moment for the World Food Prize Foundation and the global community. With the population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050—a mere 25 years from now—the challenge to feed the world is urgent and demands investment in cutting-edge agricultural research, scalable innovations and cross-sector collaboration. The weight of this moment underscores our theme: A Root Awakening. It is a call to action and a stark reality that we are not ready—unless we take bold measures to accelerate agricultural advancements and enhance nutrition security for all.

DialogueNEXT is a part of an event series tracing international footsteps and revisiting landmarks preserving his legacy. Through a powerful progression of collaborative conversations, participants create a meaningful DIALOGUE that leads us to critical NEXT steps in alleviating hunger. These exchanges will set the stage for essential discussions at the annual Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue.
