Welcome to “Innovation Rooted in Humanity”, an exploration of how the World Food Programme is reimagining what’s possible in the fight against hunger. This exhibition takes you through up to 12 innovation stations, each highlighting a different way WFP is turning bold solutions into practical, life-changing innovations.
Innovated rooted in humanity
Made possible by innovation
You will encounter a powerful mix of field portraits and WFP staff stories, capturing the lived experiences and ingenuity behind each breakthrough. Along the way, you will see how themes like gender equity, climate resilience and innovative finance are woven throughout our work, as essential ingredients for lasting impact, reminding us that real change happens when we work collaboratively.
This exhibition spotlights how we build collectively, with purpose, with compassion, with humanity and with impact.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our donors and supporters, without whom none of this would be possible. Your partnership fuels solutions, action, and the hope that drives innovation forward.

At the World Food Programme, we put people first. Every innovation begins with one question: How can we do more, for more people, with less? This question drives our commitment to human-centered progress, where breakthroughs are not invented in isolation but co-created with the very people they are meant to support, people in need, field staff and local changemakers.
Our approach delivers impact at scale. By developing smarter tools and practical solutions, we reach more people, more effectively, and more quickly, whether through digital cash systems that restore choice and autonomy, solar-powered cold storage that protects essential food and vaccines, or farmer-informed apps that help predict rainfall and plan harvests.
Innovation, for us, is a quiet force for good. It brings hope: not through grand gestures, but through meaningful change rooted in empathy and guided by dignity. The best ideas often arise from the communities we work with, grounded in local knowledge and designed to meet real needs. And when these solutions work, they don’t just transform a single village or camp. They ripple outward, creating global impact.
This is innovation rooted in humanity, for purpose, compassion and a better future for all.
