Youth Assembly Partner Organizations

The World Food Forum’s (WFF) Youth Assembly, led by the Youth Policy Board (YPB), serves as a year-round open, inclusive and structured platform for young people to co-create and engage in discussions about various agrifood systems related issues. It brings together young individuals, youth organizations and youth constituencies to discuss specific policy topics within agrifood systems and develop joint recommendations and solutions that can be brought into intergovernmental processes and translated into programmatic actions. 

In 2026, the Youth Assembly will focus on eleven themes, addressing key challenges in agrifood systems transformation

Biodiversity
Bioeconomy
Climate Change
Desertification, Land Degradation, and Drought
Fisheries and Aquaculture

  • Shape high-impact sessions and consultations by providing organizational expertise, research and innovative solutions;
  • Engage youth voices in agrifood systems discussions through interactive and inclusive sessions and consultations;
  • Nominate experts and moderators to contribute insights and facilitate dialogue;
  • Enhance outreach and visibility by promoting sessions and consultations across global platforms; and
  • Ensure policy integration by helping present youth-led recommendations in intergovernmental agrifood systems decision making processes.

  • Proven expertise in the selected theme(s);
