Vision

A world where youth are recognized and empowered as vital leaders in advancing the One Health approach within agrifood systems, where their insights and voices inform and shape policies, interventions and sustainable practices across human, animal, plant and environmental health.

Mission

To foster a structured and sustainable global youth constituency that serves as a global platform that enables young people from diverse geographic and professional backgrounds to contribute meaningfully to advancing the One Health approach in agrifood systems at local, national, regional and global levels.

It will champion One Health in agrifood systems by:

• Facilitating inclusive platforms for intergenerational dialogue, knowledge exchange, technical and leadership capacity strengthening and peer-to-peer collaboration;
• Promoting youth-led innovation, research and coordinated advocacy that address the interdependencies of ecosystems, food security and health; and
• Integrating youth perspectives into international policy spaces, relevant to One Health.
