FoodShot Global Challenge #2 Precision Protein, Deep Dive GroundBreaker Prize (Netherlands) 

Year Awarded  2021

Total award amount   $150,000

Location   Wageningen, Netherlands

Program   FoodShot Global Challenge

Matching Funders   FoodShot Global

Grantee Institution   Wageningen University

FoodShot Global’s GroundBreaker Prize recognizes rising scientific stars whose research has identified technological and ecological tools that enable farmers to optimize yields and the long-term health of the land. Dr. Hannah Van Zanten received $150,000 for developing a European circular food systems model (CiFoS), which is now extending to a global model. The extended model can ultimately benefit U.S. farmers and agricultural stakeholders.
