Brazil’s ‘Bacteria Queen’ Just Stunned the Farming World

A Brazilian microbiologist just scooped up the “Oscar of Food” for turning microscopic life into agricultural gold. Mariangela Hungria has spent decades championing the use of beneficial soil bacteria to replace chemical fertilizers—and now, her work has earned the $500,000 World Food Prize.

Her research helped Brazil evolve from food importer to agricultural powerhouse, all thanks to tiny organisms like rhizobia and Azospirillum that naturally feed crops. Despite early doubts, her work slashed environmental impact and costs while rewriting farming regulations. With her win, Hungria joins a legacy of trailblazing scientists and is using her moment in the spotlight to uplift others—starting with a new award to celebrate women in science and service.
