The World Food Prize Foundation, based in Iowa, has announced a leadership change as it aims to broaden its international focus. Mashal Husain, the current chief operating officer, will take over as president, succeeding Terry Branstad, the former U.S. ambassador to China and Iowa governor, who is retiring.
The World Food Prize was established by Norman Borlaug, an Iowa native and Nobel Peace Prize laureate known for his role in the 'Green Revolution,' which significantly increased agricultural production and reduced starvation threats globally.
