Working independently, Professor Yuan Longping and Dr. Monty Jones each made breakthroughs in rice science that saved million of lives. Yuan's work led to the worlds first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, and leading to his acknowledgment as "The Father of Hybrid Rice." Dr. Jones led a pioneering effort at WARDA to develop New Rice for Africa (NERICA), recapturing the genetic potential of ancient African rices and offering hope to millions in West Africa by starting an agricultural transformation there.
