YFTAs X WORLD FOOD FORUM

FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy 17.10.2023 - 18.10.2023

Lessons learned from international Youth dialogues with the Global South

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 to shape agrifood systems to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a betterfoodfuture for all.

The 2023 edition took place from the 16th to the 20th October and it evolved around the theme “Agrifood systems transformation accelerates climate action.” Lola Berna Gascón and Elena Sbaragli have been selected as observers at the WFF and have proudly represented the YFTAs during this gathering. For this occasion, they drafted a statement advocating for a Global, Fair and Ecological transition. They outlined three levers of change to achieve this: support the agroecological transition; achieve climate justice, ensure living incomes and living wages.
