The World Food Forum (WFF) is pleased to invite FAO Members and partners of the Forum to nominate Youth Representatives and Observers to the third annual WFF flagship event under the theme “Food Action accelerates Climate Action.”.
The WFF’s flagship event comprises the WFF Global Youth Forum, the FAO Science and Innovation Forum, and the FAO Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum. These three interlinked fora advance bold and actionable solutions to catalyze the transformation of our agrifood systems considering the ongoing challenges and crises and highlight the importance of collaboration between the current and next generation and their combined ingenuity in science, technology, and innovation – and investments in key areas of food and agriculture.
More specifically, the Global Youth Forum will include innovation awards, educational and cultural activities, exhibitions, and side events. In addition, it will host a Youth Assembly, providing a dedicated and self-organized space for youth in agrifood systems advocacy and policy debate.
Launched in 2021, the World Food Forum (WFF) is an independent, youth-led global network of partners facilitated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It aims to spark a global movement that empowers young people everywhere to actively shape agrifood systems to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a better food future for all.
The WFF serves as the premier global forum to harness the passion and power of youth to identify solutions and incite positive action for agrifood systems. It aligns with the 2021 United Nations (UN) Food Systems Summit, acts as a major youth platform in global food governance, and serves as a global think tank that fosters youth-led solutions in innovation, science, and technology. The WFF aims to support and grow youth initiatives in the agrifood sector in line with global youth policy recommendations, focusing in 2023 on the theme, “Agrifood systems transformation accelerates climate action.”
To drive awareness, foster engagement and advocacy, and mobilize resources, the WFF connects youth groups, influencers, companies, academic institutions, nonprofits, governments, media, and the public. It features a range of interactive events, networks, and content platforms organized around four thematic tracks: Youth Action, Innovation, Education, and Culture.

Are you a 12-17 year old with a passion to create a better future? Then the NGFP Young Voices award is the perfect opportunity for you!
They are looking for young people with innovative ideas and projects to make the world a better place. They recognize the immense potential young people have to shape the world and they are eager to listen, learn and support you as you embark on your foresight journey.
So, if you are curious about how the world is changing, have a desire to translate innovative ideas about the future into action and make a difference in your community, and are willing to become an ambassador for a more sustainable future, they can’t wait to hear from you!
Foresight is a systematic way of engaging with uncertainty by exploring alternative futures, including aspirational ones. As a discipline, it has the potential to shape the future. It is not about predicting the future, but understanding your current and future operating environment. Insights gained from foresight equip communities and organisations to recognise and respond to emerging threats and opportunities by developing enhanced competitiveness, resilience and agility.
A foresight practitioner is anyone who takes a futures approach to their work to explore and understand the impacts of longer-term factors and drivers of change on the future, to understand better how different futures might evolve, and to generate insights for decisions made today.
Today, the futures and foresight field is still largely dominated by Global North voices from older generations. However, better, fairer and more equitable futures for all.
NGFP is committed to providing a platform for the development and support of younger generations of futures and foresight practitioners, particularly from the Global South. Their needs, experiences, perspectives and methods must equally inform the pathways towards their collective preferred futures.

YSA officially launched the 50% Youth Participation by America250 (50by250) capaign with a Partner Summit during our annual Youth Service Institute.
The goal of the 50by250 campaign is to increase youth participation rates in volunteering and service, voting and civic engagement, and joining and leadership to at least 50% by America's Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026. Even though youth participation rates are at or near record-high levels, we’re still leaving 3 of every 4 young people out of actively working together for the common good. Opportunities to participate are even fewer for young people of color, youth from underserved low-income families & communities, and other youth not usually asked to serve.
Listen to a youth-facilitated focus group discussion of young leaders about the barriers to youth participation in their communities, and how we can all do more to increase youth participation by personally asking all young people to participate, teaching the knowledge & skills they need to effectively participate, addressing systemic equity & access issues, and telling the story of youth changing the world to motivate and inspire others to participate.
Welcome & Introductions
Topic 1: How would you describe the state of youth participation today? What do you hope youth participation might look like by 2026?
Topic 2: What do you think inspires youth to get involved? What issues are most important to you and your peers?
Topic 3: What barriers did/do you and your peers face to participating? What do you think is needed to overcome those barriers?
Topic 4: If you could ask the adult decision-makers in your schools, afterschool programs, youth organizations, nonprofits, or government for any kind of support or policy change to help increase youth participation, what would you ask for?

Former President Obama launched YALI in 2010 to support young African leaders as they spur growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, and enhance peace and security across Sub-Saharan Africa.
