Leaders and advocates who work on hunger, poverty and rural livelihoods through nonprofit organizations, international agencies and public campaigns, rather than through research or elected office. They include the heads of faith-based and humanitarian anti-hunger groups, founders of programs that give livestock or training to poor families or return cleared land to farming, coordinators of United Nations food and health responses, and promoters of farming methods that restore ecosystems. A person belongs here when the cited article describes them as a founder, chief executive, coordinator or public voice of such an effort, rather than as a company executive, a legislator or a laboratory scientist.
