Synopsis
The Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship Program (the Borlaug Fellowship Program) provides 12-week fellowships to individuals from eligible countries who specialize or have experience in agricultural education, research, extension, or other related fields. This program advances USDA's agricultural research goals of promoting collaborative programs among agricultural professionals of eligible countries, agricultural professionals of the United States, the international agricultural research system, and other United States entities conducting agricultural research. Dr. Norman E. Borlaug envisioned a prize that would honor those who make significant and measurable contributions to improving the world's food supply. His vision was achieved in 1986 through the creation of the World Food Prize, which is now considered the foremost international award for the achievements of individuals who advance human development by improving the quality, quantity, or availability of food in the world. The World Food Prize recognizes contributions in any field involved in improving global food supply, including food and agriculture science and technology, manufacturing, marketing, nutrition, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership, and the social sciences.
