Andrew Mude has won the 2016 Norman Borlaug Award for Field Research and Application, endowed by the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Food Prize announced Tuesday. Mude developed insurance for never-before-insured communities whose livelihoods depend on herding cattle, goats, sheep and camels in the remote, arid and drought-prone lowlands of the Horn of Africa. Mude, 39, made novel use of satellite data to achieve an innovative and highly effective solution that helps pastoral livestock herders reduce the considerable and costly drought risk they face in this region. The award goes to individuals under 40. Mude will be honored Oct. 12 at the annual World Food Prize symposium in Des Moines.
