The World Food Forum (WFF) is pleased to invite Members of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and partners of the Forum to nominate Youth Representatives and Observers to the WFF Youth Assembly consultation cycle 2024. The WFF Youth Assembly provides a dedicated, inclusive and self-organized space for youth in agrifood systems advocacy and policy debate.
The Youth Assembly will start its meetings in March 2024 with thematic and regional virtual sessions that will run throughout 2024, cumulating in the main hybrid session to be held at the WFF flagship event from 14 to 18 October 2024 in Rome, Italy. A detailed agenda will be made available to delegations on the website of the Youth Assembly shortly. The 2024 WFF cycle is organized under the overall theme “Good food for all, today and tomorrow”.
The WFF, launched in 2021 as an independent network of partners hosted by FAO, serves as the premier global platform to actively shape agrifood systems for a better food future, accelerating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through global youth action, science and innovation and investment, the WFF forges new paths of action and multi-sector partnerships for agrifood impact at the local, regional and global levels to achieve a more sustainable, resilient, inclusive and hunger-free food future for all.
In this overall context, WFF Global Youth Action acts as a catalytic movement and driver of youth engagement in food governance, and serves as a knowledge center and innovation lab, fostering and inspiring youth-led solutions, with the Youth Assembly as the central and inclusive youth platform for policy debate in fields related to food and agriculture. In addition, it also engages and empowers youth through innovation awards, as well as educational and cultural activities, exhibitions and events on an ongoing basis.
