The World Food Prize grew out of the vision of John Ruan and his hope to eliminate world hunger. This entity has moved into the restored former Des Moines Public Library on the riverwalk.
Volunteer docents have undergone intensive training to learn about the World Food Prize and the Hall of Laureates. They will describe the historical significance of the building, its architectural features and the art that adorns its walls. The docents also will show you the beautiful art and sculpture in the Hall of Laureates and will share the inspirational stories of our World Food Prize Laureates, who have worked tirelessly to alleviate hunger and improve food production in our world.
