In 2018, the Future Policy Award was co-organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Future Council, and IFOAM-Organics International and winners of the award were celebrated at an event at FAO on 15 October 2018. The Future Policy Award celebrates policies that create better living conditions for current and future generations and each year, a topic is chosen on which policy progress is particularly urgent. In 2018, that topic was agroecology. Eight award winners (ranging from Gold to Honorable Mention) were honored at the event, and now extended descriptions of all Future Policy Award winners are available from the Future Policy website.
