$100,000 prize driving food security, sustainability in Africa
AFRICA Food Prize (AFP) has announced the opening of nominations for its 2025 award. According to the organisers, the prize recognises and celebrates exceptional individuals and institutions, whose groundbreaking contributions transform the African food landscape, driving progress towards food security, and fostering sustainable agricultural development across the continent.
AFP, an award for African agriculture, distinguishes outstanding achievements in various fields, from innovative farming practices and cutting-edge research to impactful policy advocacy and transformative agribusiness models. It also seeks to honour those achieving remarkable results and also inspiring others to take action.
“Each passing year, the Africa Food Prize shines a spotlight on the remarkable individuals and organizations, who are dedicating their lives to building a more prosperous and food-secure Africa,” the Chairman of the Africa Food Prize Committee, Jakaya Kikwete, said.
“As we open nominations for 2025, we are eager to discover the next generation of African food heroes, whose ingenuity and resilience are shaping a brighter future for our continent,” he said.
“The winner(s) of the Africa Food Prize will receive $100,000. All nominations will be reviewed using the Africa Food Prize criteria that assess the programme’s contribution to poverty reduction and nutrition security as well as the improvement of livelihoods through employment and job creation. Nominees will then be evaluated based on their demonstrated impact, sustainability, scalability, and potential to inspire positive change within their communities and beyond,” he added.
