The Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize recognises food as the predominant fuel of humanity’s daily development and evolution, over time. The Curt Bergfors Foundation was established on August 30th, 2019, in acknowledgement of the perils that our current food systems pose to the health of people and the planet, and with the conviction that the ways we produce, distribute and consume food must be radically and urgently reformed if future generations — and the planet itself — are to survive and thrive. The Foundation actively supports the transition to sustainable food systems through research grants, awards, and information campaigns. Most of its activities are centred around the Food Planet Prize.
