The prize is presented every other year to journalists from different parts of the world who have brought the issues of rural development and food security in developing countries to the attention of society.
The team were unanimously chosen as winners this year for the significant contribution they have made to improving worldwide understanding of development issues, particularly agriculture, food security and poverty.
The UN FAO praised the team for providing high quality, in-depth and up-to-date multimedia coverage ranging from analysis of international policy, to on the ground reporting, and using new media formats to creatively and effectively communicate these important issues.
