Former Iowa Governor Terry Branstad is retiring from his latest post as president of the World Food Prize. Branstad, the nation’s longest serving governor, resigned in 2017 to serve as U.S. Ambassador to China. He left that post in September of 2020 and, in early 2023, became the president of the Des Moines-based World Food Prize Foundation. Branstad said at the time he’d be in the role for a year or so.
