International agricultural research prize winners

There are three major international prizes in agricultural science, and reading about the laureates helps to gain an appreciation of the contributions of the field to society as well as their contributions to the field. Alfred Nobel recognized the importance of agriculture–he was quoted as saying, “Second to agriculture, humbug is the biggest industry of our age”–but for unknown reasons did not create a Nobel prize in agricultural sciences.
