Israeli scientist Daniel Hillel received the World Food Prize June 12, 2012. Hillel helped developing drip irrigation methods that conserve water and allow food to be grown in some of the world's driest climates. 'I'm a great believer in international cooperation,' he says. 'I'm a passionate believer in peace rather than rivalry, enmity, and destruction.'
