国际马铃薯中心副主任Hugo Campos博士荣获2025年世界粮食奖基金会农业食品先锋奖
近日，国际马铃薯中心（简称“CIP”）自豪地宣布，CIP 的科学与创新副主任Hugo Campos博士被世界粮食奖基为2025年度农业食品先锋（Top Agri-Food Pioneer，简称“TAP”）。这一殊荣彰显了Campos博士在全球农业创新领域的领导力以及其通过根茎作物、块茎作物和香蕉作物推动新绿色革命的热情倡导。
Currently, International Potato Center (CIP) is proud to announce that Dr. Hugo Campos, CIP’s Deputy Director General for Science and Innovation, has been selected as a 2025 Top Agri-Food Pioneer (TAP) by the World Food Prize Foundation. This prestigious recognition highlights Dr. Campos’ global leadership in agricultural innovation and his passional advocacy for a new Green Revolution through root, tuber and banana crops.
CIP主任Simon Heck博士表示：“这一荣誉不仅认可了Campos博士在科学和创新方面的卓越贡献，也凸显了CIP通过可持续、包容和气候智能的方法重塑农业食品系统的承诺。Campos博士的愿景和领导力继续激励着我们的全球团队大胆创新，致力于获得对农民、消费者和子孙后代真正重要的成果和影响。”
在CIP，Campos博士一直是扩大根茎作物和块茎作物（如马铃薯、红薯、山药、芋头和木薯等）的影响力和相关性的重要人物，将它们定位为非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲增长、营养和韧性的引擎。他的工作将前沿科学与以农民为中心的解决方案相结合，加速了改良作物品种的交付，加强了种子系统，并推动性别平等，鼓励青年参与到农业研究与发展之中。
2025 年的TAP奖项是Campos博士因对全球农业创新的贡献而获得的一系列荣誉中的最新一项。今年早些时候，因其在非洲对根茎作物、块茎作物和香蕉（RTB）作物的发展和推广做出了杰出贡献，他得到热带根茎和块茎作物学会非洲分会（ISTRC-AB）认可，并被选为印度国家农业科学院（NAAS）的外籍院士，这标志着他非凡的一年。
我们在此向Campos博士表示衷心祝贺！
Dr. Campos is among a distinguished group of ten global changemakers selected this year for their trailblazing work in transforming food systems and improving livelihoods. The TAP award is part of the World Food Prize Foundation’s efforts to spotlight rising and established leaders who are driving impactful solutions to the world’s most urgent food and nutrition challenges.
“This honor not only recognizes Dr. Campos’ exceptional contributions to science and innovation but also underscores CIP’s commitment to reshaping agri-food systems through sustainable, inclusive, and climate-smart approaches,” said Dr. Simon Heck, Director General of CIP. “Hogu’s vision and leadership continue to inspire our global team to innovate boldly and deliver results and impact that matter to farmers, consumers, and future generations.”
At CIP, Dr. Campos has been a central figure in expanding the reach and relevance of root and tuber crops, such as potato, sweetpotato, yam, taro and cassava, among others, positioning them as engines of growth, nutrition, and resilience across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. His work bridges cutting-edge science with farmer-centered solutions, accelerating the delivery of improved crop varieties, strengthening seed systems, and mainstreaming gender and youth engagement in agricultural research for development.
The 2025 TAP award is the latest in a series of prestigious honors recognizing Dr. Campos’ contributions to global agricultural innovation. Earlier this year, he wasrecognized by the International Society for Tropical Root and Tuber Crops – Africa Branch (ISTRC-AB) for his outstanding contributions to the development and promotion of root, tuber, and banana (RTB) crops in Africa and selected as a Foreign Fellow of India’s National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), marking a year of extraordinary distinction.
We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Campos!
