Educators
Network
Welcome to the WFF Educators Network – a dynamic space where educators come together to discuss pressing challenges in agrifood systems transformation. As the world faces climate change, biodiversity loss and food insecurity, educators are key to shaping a sustainable future. The Network is a locally rooted, globally connected community of practice and reference body for agrifood education – co-creating modular resources and engaging educators in youth-led policy spaces, in support of the WFF Youth Initiative and FAO.
Our network brings together a culturally, regionally and gender diverse group of formal and non-formal educators. Together, we inspire the next generation to become agents of change in agrifood systems.Are you an educator interested in agrifood systems education? Join the Educators Network now!
Pillar 1: Modular Educational Resource Development
The WFF Educators Network implements a modular resource development model through a standardized five-phase process, coordinated by the WFF Youth Education Programme and implemented through regional subgroups:
Pillar 2: Networking Strengthening – the WFF GTAN Educators Community
The WFF Youth Education Programme partners with the Global Teach Ag Network (GTAN), an international professional learning and community network and organization for educators focused on global agriculture and food security.
Through this collaboration, all Network members are invited to participate in the WFF GTAN online discussion platform – featuring weekly prompts, thematic and regional channels, documentation of discussions and repositories of developed resources. Regional subgroups actively moderate their channels, keeping engagement alive well beyond live sessions.
Pillar 3: Educators' Policy Engagement
The WFF Educators Network creates structured opportunities for educators to contribute to youth-led agrifood policy processes – bringing classroom experience, community realities and pedagogical expertise into the World Food Forum Youth Assembly and its thematic consultations. Educators support Thematic Youth Assembly sessions linked to global priorities such as climate change, biodiversity and desertification.
In doing so, they contribute education perspectives to policy dialogues, help interpret youth-identified capacity gaps, advise on learning approaches and training needs and support the translation of consultation outcomes into future capacity development pathways.
This pillar is built on a two-way exchange: educators strengthen the educational recommendations of youth policy discussions, while insights emerging from Youth Assembly consultations feed back into the Network’s education programming and resource development.
