Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health

Celebrate the International Youth Day with us! On 12 August, join our webinar. The event will explore the role that youth can play to achieve more equitable and sustainable food systems, building on the recommendations of 2021 ECOSOC Youth Forum. Through a unique dialogue among youth working in this space and stakeholders from different walks of life, the webinar will promote innovation, knowledge exchange, and youth engagement by continuing the momentum to the high-level United Nations Food Systems Summit in September. The webinar is structured around different roundtables, designed to boost interactions among the participants. The different segments will focus on specific topics that fall under the overarching theme of Transforming Food Systems, including: planetary health, nutrition, health, education, innovation, and Indigenous youth. Youth leaders from around the world will share their experiences and perspectives with food security, agroecology and nutrition experts, as well as with representative from academia, NGOs, and international organizations.
