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.

“We praise the Alliance for shedding much-needed light on mangroves and embedding food production in a sound ecological framework. Influential global NGOs coming together to foster collaboration between local research and conservation efforts rather than creating centralized solutions is as rare as it’s scalable at its core.” “Rising temperatures and growing populations will multiply the need for sustainable and affordable cooling systems. It is incredibly impressive that ColdHubs has pulled off running a profitable, fit-for-purpose social enterprise with limited means. We are convinced that the $2 million funding will help them achieve more, faster.”
