このコンテンツについて

 Welcome to GermiNation—the podcast where seeds tell their stories. I’m your host, Cindy Hicks, coming to you from the Iowa State University Seed Science Center, a global leader in seed research, education, and outreach. Each episode, we dig into the beauty, wonder, and science of seeds—those tiny powerhouses at the heart of agriculture, biodiversity, and global food security. Through conversations with scientists, farmers, industry leaders, and changemakers around the world, we explore how seeds connect us, sustain us, and shape our future. This is GermiNation—where every great story starts with a seed.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. 博物学 科学 自然・生態学

    GermiNation E4S1: "The past, the present, and the future of feeding the world one seed at a time."
    2025/11/03

    In this episode of GermiNation, we take you inside the 2025 World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue — where innovation, legacy, and global collaboration take center stage. I sit down with three inspiring voices in agriculture: Dr. Manjit Misra, former Director of the ISU Seed Science Center and USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture; Julie Borlaug, President of the Borlaug Foundation, granddaughter of Nobel Laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug and passionate proponent of initiatives to end hunger; and we’ll wrap up with Dr. Jean Baptiste Tignegre, Regional Seed Systems Lead for the African Agricultural Technology Foundation.

    Together, they share insights on the past, the present, and the future of feeding the world: from the Green Revolution to the next generation of “Hunger Fighters."
