It is important to note that individuals who have contributed to improving the quality, quantity, and availability of food worldwide, regardless of their race, religion, nationality, or political beliefs, are honored with the "World Food Prize" annually since 1986.

For over twenty years, Ms. Heidi has been actively engaged in agricultural revitalization, using agricultural techniques to restore peace and prosperity to over a million people living in war-affected regions around the world.

This marks the second visit of the organization's leader to our country, and she continues to support agricultural development through her initiative "Mines to Vines," which aims to convert mine-contaminated areas into productive vineyards.
