The Yara Prize for a Green Revolution in Africa has a focus on food: the improvement of food production and availability and the development of local markets in Africa, as a contribution to reducing hunger and poverty. The prize recognises such efforts and results in any field of work clearly related to combating hunger, improving health and reducing poverty in Africa, within every aspect of agriculture and food production supporting the development of both the input and the output market. The prize was launched in 2005 and consists of a USD 100,000 grant, a glass trophy and a diploma.
