'“Let Food Be Thy Medicine,” a quote attributed to Hippocrates approximately 2,400 years ago, best captures the ground-breaking achievement for which the four distinguished 30th Anniversary World Food Prize Laureates are being honored in 2016 – the development and implementation of biofortification, breeding critical vitamins and micronutrients into staple crops, thereby dramatically reducing “hidden hunger” for millions. Drs. Maria Andrade, Robert Mwanga, Jan Low and Howarth Bouis have made monumental contributions to increasing the quality of food in developing countries through programs and strategies leading to the breeding and consumption of biofortified high-nutrient staple crops. They, along with all 30 years of World Food Prize Laureates, have changed the course of global food security.
