2019 World Food Prize winner: ‘The small guys really do matter — and so do vegetables’
Des Moines Register: Simon N. Groot, this year’s winner of the World Food Prize, said he built his company’s success on one philosophy: “Be a true friend of farmers, because the small guys really do matter — and so do vegetables.” The Dutch businessman, who helped found East-West Seed, received the award in Des Moines on Thursday for his work to develop seeds that helped millions of small farmers escape poverty through improved vegetable production.
