Youth for a Better Food Future
In 2025, as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) marks its 80th anniversary, the World Food Forum (WFF) Global Youth Action Initiative (Youth Initiative) joins the global call to walk hand in hand towards a better food future, one rooted in solidarity, innovation and purpose.
This year’s theme, “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future”, is a celebration of partnerships and a commitment to act. It unites youth, farmers, researchers, policymakers, investors and communities across generations to transform our agrifood systems through the shared vision of the four betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life.
In 2025, the WFF Youth Initiative invites you to be part of a growing global movement. Whether you are designing agri-tech solutions, preserving traditional knowledge, rethinking food education or advocating for meaningful youth engagement in policy spaces - your voice matters. Your action counts.
Together, hand in hand, we can cultivate better agrifood systems and a better future for everyone.
