Today we went to the Iowa Agribusiness Association, The World Food Prize Hall of Laureates, the Des Moines Water Works and the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation of Iowa State. The most memorable part of the day was the tour of the World Food Prize. When originally interviewing to take part in the Farm MayX, HN tasked those interviewing to look into a few agriculture celebrities and come prepared to chat about one. The person I chose to look into was Norman Borlaug. Norman Borlaug, among many other significant achievements, created the World Food Prize to honor people in the agriculture business who make a difference in the realm of world hunger and food supply. The award has been given out every year since 1987. The World Food Prize Hall of Laureates was a beautiful building and held a fascinating story. The part of the tour that stood out to me the most is the photography exhibit donated by photographer Howard G. Buffett. The exit was called Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World. The exhibit displayed photos of people from around the world. Looking at the pictures in the photo display I can’t help but wonder how these people would feel about being displayed in an exhibit that is portraying poverty and hunger around the world. If they could see us walking around and pitying them and their circumstances what would they say? We were told some people go through the gallery and are brought to tears with sadness. The pictures were breathtaking and moving but at the same time almost intimate as we were looking at people suffering and impoverished. Additionally, many of the pictures were of children. It felt almost wrong to be exposing that innocence when they are too young to really consent to having their pictures used.
