Brazil: World Food Prize 2025 Awarded to Brazilian Researcher - as US-Brazil Agricultural Collaboration Strengthens
Brazilian researcher Dr. Mariangela Hungria will receive the 2025 World Food Prize for her scientific advancements in biological nitrogen fixation, which have transformed soil health and crop nutrition in tropical agriculture. Her work led to the development of biological seed treatments that enhance productivity, while reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers, and that save Brazilian farmers up to US$25 billion annually on input costs. As part of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), Dr. Hungria made significant contributions in promoting the use of biological fertilizers and also contributes to the Fertilize 4 Life (F4L) initiative, a collaboration with USDA, the University of Florida, and the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC).
