Young researchers can now apply for the Forestry Innovation Prize, a new award from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) programme and the World Food Forum. Established to mark FAO’s 80th anniversary, the prize recognises inspiring, youth-led innovations in sustainable forest management, particularly those using new technologies to address today’s most pressing environmental challenges under three categories:
- Digital technologies
- Product/process technologies
- Biotechnology
Winning teams will receive up to 10,000 USD in research funding, global visibility, networking opportunities, capacity development, and an invitation to FAO headquarters to present their research at the Transformative Research Challenge 2025 event in October 2025.
The application deadline is 16 May 2025 at 24:00 (UTC-7).
