Dr. Daniel Hillel will be awarded the 2012 World Food Prize for his role in conceiving and implementing a radically new mode of bringing water to crops in airid and dry land regions - known as "micro-irrigation". Dr. Hillel's pioneering scientific work in Israel revolutionized food production, first in the Middle East, and then in other regions around the world over the past five decades. His work increased crop yields while maximizing efficient water usage and minimizing environmental degradation. Through his work, Dr. Hillel united people from all cultures and walks of life, building peace on a foundation of food and water security for all.
