Nominations are now open for the 2022 Borlaug CAST Communication Award (BCCA), an honor that recognizes professionals actively working in the agricultural, environmental, or food sectors who are promoting agricultural science in the public policy arena. This award has become an influential component in the efforts to keep agricultural issues and programs in the public eye and in front of national and world policymakers.
Organized by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, the award carries on the legacy of Dr. Norman Borlaug. Stakeholders in the CAST organization have special insights into the world of agriculture, and with this open nomination process, you have a chance to get actively involved.
On October 21, CAST hosted the presentation event for the 2021 BCCA. Immediately after receiving the award, Dr. Sarah Evanega delivered an insightful presentation titled Set a Bolder Table for the Future: Modify, Include, Diversify.
Words, deeds, and programs need to become the actions that help farmers and consumers worldwide. CAST welcomes your input in the effort to find those who effectively communicate Dr. Borlaug's call to feed the world.
The award winner will receive a bronze sculpture, an honorarium, and the opportunity to give a presentation at a CAST award ceremony during the 2022 World Food Prize Symposium.
