Similarly, consideration will be given to the degree of ingenuity and determination involved in attaining this change or advancement. •A nominee must be living and in sufficiently good health to attend The World Food Prize Award Ceremony. The nominee must be able to give an acceptance speech and agree to participate in selected media events and The World Food Prize Youth Institute at the time of the Award Ceremony. |
