Submit your nomination for the 2024 George Washington Carver Award
The George Washington Carver Award recognizes significant contributions by individuals in the fields of agriculture and environmental biotechnology. This award will emphasize the important goal of using biotech innovation to develop sustainable value-chains. By honoring those who have worked successfully toward this goal in the private sector, government or academia, this award will serve as a lasting memorial to the original vision of George Washington Carver who, over a century ago, pioneered the creation and commercialization of sustainable biobased products and materials and energy derived from renewable agricultural feedstock. Today, his legacy lives on in biotechnology companies and innovators who are developing new methods to use renewable agricultural resources to manufacture fuels, plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food ingredients.
