Food Planet Prize Winners and Finalists
Reshaping the global food system requires a broad range of approaches and ideas. Many stakeholders are already shifting to sustainable solutions. Some aim to disrupt entire value chains. Fewer have the potential to scale broadly. These are the food system game-changers we reward.
They are social enterprises, startups, research institutes, grassroots organizations, and more. Vetted from hundreds of nominations, then assessed, and ranked, the winning initiatives go through a thorough evaluation process before being elected by our jury of world-leading food systems experts. They represent some of the crucial areas we must explore to rescue the Food Planet.
The Food Planet Prize is always awarded to the candidates with the greatest potential to help humanity shift to resilient food systems and achieve food security within this decade. Winners of the 2022 Prize will be announced in November. We are currently presenting the 10 finalists for the 2022 Prize.

"No other human activity contributes more to the degradation of our environment than the way we eat. It is therefore clear to me that the world’s biggest environmental prize should reward innovative solutions that have the potential to drastically change this. By doubling the amount of money tied to each of the prizes, we intend to accelerate the winners’ ability to reach their full potential and contribute to a sustainable food planet that can support us all"
