The applicants are judged on the basis of quality, originality and long-term impact of their work.

Any individual researcher or extensionist whose work concerns the use of fertilizers, from the public or private sector, is eligible for nomination by an IFA member.

 

The IFA Award alternates along a 4-year cycle as follows:

  The ‘IFA International Crop Nutrition Award’ has been renamed ‘IFA Norman Borlaug Award’ in recognition of Dr Borlaug’s outstanding and tireless contribution to fighting hunger all over the world. Dr Borlaug is considered the ‘Father of the Green Revolution’ and received the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize. He was a strong supporter of the fertilizer industry, demonstrating the vital links between science, technology, extension and agricultural production.
