This issue commemorates Queen Sirikit's receipt of the WHO's Food Safety Award, recognition tied to her longstanding patronage of rural development and food security programs in Thailand. The WHO formally established its food safety awards infrastructure in the late twentieth century partly to draw attention to agricultural reform efforts in developing nations — Sirikit's involvement with highland agricultural projects made her a credible recipient rather than a ceremonial one.
