Youth Education towards a Better Food Future for All
Food is a basic human need – yet many young people do not know how it is produced, distributed or consumed, or how agrifood systems shape our health and our planet.
The WFF Youth Initiative believes quality agrifood education is key to youth engagement in sustainable agrifood systems. Education is both a fundamental right and a driver of sustainable agrifood systems transformation, shaping the knowledge, skills and values that underpin food security, decent livelihoods and sustainable resource management. When education and skills development are linked with food security and nutrition, they create the foundation for healthier populations and more resilient societies.
The WFF Youth Education Programme supports learners and educators to become agents of change – across their personal, professional and academic journeys – through learning, networking opportunities and resources that strengthen livelihoods and help sustainably transform agrifood systems worldwide.
