The role of the media is crucial for raising public awareness about the importance of issues concerning food sustainability.
For this reason, the BCFN Foundation and the Thomson Reuters Foundation launched the Food Sustainability Media Awardan international contest that recognizes journalistic excellence in reporting on food from a different perspective and turning the spotlight on food sustainability.
The winners of the second edition of the contest were announced in November 2018, at the 9th International Forum on Food and Nutrition.
At the 2018 edition of the Food Sustainability Media Award, written and multimedia (photography, audio and video) journalistic content was divided into two categories: unpublished and already published.

A jury of experts awarded the winners of each category on the stage of the 9th International Forum on Food and Nutrition. Published projects will be awarded a cash prize of € 10,000, while the authors of unpublished projects will have the opportunity to participate free of charge in a training course on food sustainability organized by the Thompson Reuters Foundation.
