Awarding excellence for sweetpotato science and communication efforts in 2022

Sweetpotato is vital for the food security and nutrition of millions in the tropics, and research has shown that there is great potential to enhance its capacity to nourish the world. Key to achieving that potential is sharing knowledge and raising awareness, which is why International Potato Center (CIP) principal scientist and World Food Prize laureate Jan Low created two annual awards, of $500 each, to recognize outstanding efforts in new research and how to best communicate knowledge and raise awareness about this nutritious crop.
