The Second International "One World Award" Ceremony Tribute to the Laureates from India, Kenya and Switzerland

LEGAU, Germany, September 20, 2010 - The "One World Award" (OWA) and the "One World Lifetime
Achievement Award" honors people with innovative projects who work
courageously for a future worth living. IFOAM awards Bhaskar H. Save for his
important role as an ambassador of organic agriculture in India. The OWA goes
to Dr. Hans Rudolf Herren, Rachel Agola and the Swiss Foundation Biovision.
The additional "One World 'Very Impacting People' (VIP) Award" is presented
for the first time and will be received by the Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize
laureate Prof. Wangari Matu Maathai.

Globalization only has a future if all available resources are
divided evenly: material and economic resources as well as mental and social
resources. This thought was motivation for Joseph Wilhelm, founder and CEO of
RAPUNZEL NATURKOST, to initiate the "One World Award". The nominations for
the "One World Award" that were submitted by private persons, university
professors or politicians underlined the fact that there are numerous
positive initiatives to discover. In the end, the jury reviewed 29
high-quality applications from Peru to Laos. The extraordinary commitment of
each nominee gives globalization a positive edge.

"This year's laureates and finalists are living proof that
commitment for a sustainable and just world makes a difference and brings
hope," says IFOAM President Katherine Di Matteo in her welcome address. In
their dual function as patron of the "One World Award" and jury of the "One
World Lifetime Achievement Award", IFOAM honors Bhaskar H. Save for his
important role as an ambassador of organic agriculture in India. The staunch
organic pioneer shares his vast organic knowledge with other farmers. Bhaskar
H. Save authors articles for various publications and invites interested
farmers to his farm where he lectures every Saturday about organic
cultivation methods.

The Swiss entomologist, Dr. Hans Rudolf Herren and the Kenyan
farmer Rachel Agola, will receive the OWA statue from Joseph Wilhelm and Dr.
Vandana Shiva from India and a cash prize of 25,000 Euro - donated by
RAPUNZEL. Dr. Hans Rudolf Herren founded the Biovision Foundation in 1998
with the aim to improve the life of people on the African continent in a
sustainable way. The major projects of the foundation are malaria
prophylaxis, the development of a farmer information network and the
distribution of the "push-pull" method that helps to fight corn pests. With
the implementation of this environmentally-sound cultivation method Rachel
Agola improved her corn yield significantly.

The so-called "One World 'VIP' Award" is awarded for the first time
this year. The acronym VIP stands for "Very Impacting People". This award is
presented to extraordinary individuals who have a global impact. The person
to receive this award in 2010 is Nobel Peace Prize laureate Prof. Wangari
Matu Maathai from Kenya.

This year's award ceremony is part of an international
festival in germany. Guests from all around the world congratulate the
laureates. Initiator of the OWA Joseph Wilhelm thanks patron IFOAM, the
members of the jury Dr. Vandana Shiva (India), Tewolde Eghziaber (Ethiopia),
Roberto Ugas (Peru) und Bernward Geier (Germany) and the RAPUNZEL "OWA"-Team
