A Jury of global distinction
Shifting to sustainable food systems is critical for our future. Identifying the most impactful solutions among several hundred nominations requires world-class expertise and experience.
Therefore, the Food Planet Prize has enlisted world-leading specialists in addressing complex Food Planet challenges to assess vetted candidates. After rich discussions, individual Jurors rank approved nominees and their collective votes naturally select the Top 6 Finalists. The Food Planet Prize will ultimately be awarded to Finalists with the most significant potential for impact.
This year, we have expanded the jury to 12 members, representing the very best of academia, technology, business, and civil service. Some Jurors also bring cutting-edge culinary and practical farming knowledge. Additionally, with members located in 4 continents, our Jury reflects the diversity of perspectives needed to evaluate the broad range of nominations we receive from across the globe.
To facilitate their work, co-chairs Johan Rockström and Magnus Nilsson act as moderators. They also ensure a fair balance between scientific and operational considerations.
