Great start to the @BioSTL 2025 ReACH Summit with inspiring remarks by @chrischinn, Director of @MoAgriculture! #ReACH2025

“The only way to get through education is with food." - Dr. Robert Jones, chancellor of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and World Food Prize Foundation Council of Advisors.

Those who know why, know how. Believe in the impossible as probable. I’m going to be there, pouring into the community - Jackie Joyner-Kersee @WorldFoodPrize #foodprize24

Innovate, don’t imitate. Think differently. -Jim Snee @WorldFoodPrize #foodprize24

Partnership and international diplomacy is essential to maintaining plant diversity. “Empower the seeds that empower the crops that empower the women who feed the children” - Cary Fowler @WorldFoodPrize #foodprize24

It’s hard to be educated if you have food insecurity issues. It takes a partnership to make this work -chancellor Robert Jones @WorldFoodPrize #foodprize24

The more we loose diversity in plants the more important they are. We must collect them. - Stefan Schmitz Crop security is food security and food security is peace. The right investments will secure our food future forever - Stefan Schmitz @WorldFoodPrize #foodprize2024

Nutrition can start in the schools when students grow their own food, learn how to prepare and eat it. #worldfoodprize

🌍 A session on Bold Measures to Feed Africa is underway at #BorlaugDialogue2024! 💡 Leading voices, including @AfDB_Group's President and #WorldFoodPrize laureate Dr. @akin_adesina, his delegation including the VP @beth_dunford and others, and @WorldBank President Ajay Banga, are discussing transformative solutions for Africa’s food systems. With #TAAT as a core element of #AfDB’s #FeedAfrica Strategy, we're excited to share how agricultural innovation fuels sustainable growth and food security across the continent. 🌾✨ 💬 Advancing bold actions to feed Africa and create lasting change. Join us on this journey! #WorldFoodPrize #FoodPrize24 #FoodSecurity #BoldActions #TechForGood #EngageTAAT @WorldFoodPrize

How do we feed the world? Fund infrastructure like technology access, electricity, clean air, and clean water, which leads to young entrepreneurs being able to create jobs. #worldfoodprize

I love watching friends do amazing things, and even more when their amazing things help others. My friend Joseph’s new book is about leadership and work priorities through being laid off and the pandemic. Check it out! #newbookrelease amazon.com/Resilience-Thr…
