The World Food Forum will focus on the theme, ‘Good Food for All, for Today and Tomorrow’. The event aims to mobilize people of all ages from around the world to spark holistic, strategic, and at-scale sustainable agrifood systems transformation.
The event is a youth-led movement and network that aims to transform agrifood systems. The movement recognizes that every person on the planet needs good food to thrive, yet agrifood systems are facing increasing pressure, including from biodiversity loss, climate change, deforestation, and soil degradation.
The event will focus on four tracks: a youth assembly to empower and connect young agents of change towards a sustainable global food systems; an innovation lab to inspire innovation to end hunger and transform food systems through global competitions and education to encourage behavior change; education to unite schools and youth groups to take action; and culture to bring together the world’s youth to inspire action to end hunger and transform food systems.
