Food security is essential to building healthy, resilient communities.
Our 2027 Food finalists are strengthening food systems by helping crops withstand climate pressures, turning agricultural waste into valuable resources and restoring soil health.
From Adaptive Symbiotic Technologies in the United States, which uses beneficial fungi and bacteria to help crops tolerate drought, heat and salinity, to ALSEC
in Colombia, which transforms cheese whey into food ingredients and reusable water, and TOWING in Japan, which combines biochar and beneficial microbes to restore soil health.
Meet the pioneers building stronger, more resilient food systems.
