World Food Prize Podcast: Dialogue That Feeds the World
The World Food Prize Podcast is the official podcast of the World Food Prize Foundation, launched in 2026—the 40th Anniversary of the Prize. Hosted by Foundation CEO and former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, the podcast builds on the enduring legacy of World Food Prize Founder Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, advancing the idea that food security is a fundamental human right that transcends politics, geography and ideology.
Twice each month, Vilsack sits down with leaders from across the global food system—including scientists, farmers, policymakers, youth advocates, World Food Prize Laureates and global changemakers—to explore practical, forward-looking solutions for nourishing a growing world. Through in-depth conversations, this podcast aims to raise awareness about the global issue of hunger, educate listeners about the work of the World Food Prize Foundation and elevate the solution-oriented voices of those driving real-world impact.
Each episode offers insight, perspective and inspiration—uniting diverse viewpoints around a shared goal: advancing a food-secure future for everyone, everywhere.
