Youth Declare they are the Future of Food

Last week, the Youth Ag Summit was held in Australia, drawing together more than 100 bright lights from 33 countries who all came together to talk about the future of food and agriculture.  See some of the highlights through their YouTube video:

They have developed a Declaration that will be brought to a special side event during the UN Committee on Food Security on October 13th.  It is an amazing opportunity to have youth describe the path forward to feeding a hungry world sustainably.

Last year, I had the opportunity to speak at the first Youth Ag Summit and I can’t wait to meet the leaders from this session when we are all in Rome for the UN Committee on Food Security.
