I wrote a book about this, "The Beginner's Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize", that's now been published in Australia, the USA, India, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Germany and Iran. The last chapter tells you how to win the Nobel Prize, but there's no disclaimer or money back guarantee if you don't. Much of the advice given there could be about how to win at anything, though there are two items that could be less familiar from other "self help" books, namely: "Discover something really big", and "live a long time." Of course, nobody can actually decide to discover something, so that's pretty much "tongue in cheek." Live a long time? So far as I know, the maximum wait so far after making that big discovery has been 55 years! There's also the question of fields for Nobel Prizes. There are none directly for agriculture or for sustainability, though the Peace Prize that's awarded via the Oslo parliament did recognize Norman Borlaug for the "green revolution, and the IPCC+ Al Gore for their efforts to raise the issue of anthropogenic climate change. I don't think that there's ever been one for architecture.

The other prizes are all awarded in Stockholm with the selection being made by the various Swedish Academies and, in the case of Medicine, the senior faculty of the Karolinska Medical School. Chemistry, Physics or Medicine could, I suppose, potentially decide on a Nobel Prize for some major issue to do with keratin organization. There's the literature award that could go to any subject that evokes great writing. Then there's the Economics Prize, more correctly the Swedish Banks Prize for Economics in the name of Alfred Nobel. The banks bought their way into the Prize in the 1960's, which is good as the money paid to the recipients of these awards was substantially increased.
