Brazilian Scientist Awarded World Food Prize for Sustainable Farming

Imagine a scientist who found a way to help plants grow without using as many chemicals.

This scientist, Mariangela Hungria, studied how to use tiny helpers in the soil called bacteria.

These bacteria help plants get what they need to grow, like a natural fertilizer!

She helped farmers in Brazil grow more food while using fewer chemicals.

This is like giving the plants a healthy diet.

She won a big prize for her work because it helps feed people and protects the planet.

She showed that we can grow food in a way that's good for the Earth.
