World Food Forum powered by global youth

While we currently produce enough food to feed every man, woman, and child in the world, there are up to 811 million people who are hungry, a number which is growing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in threats like pests, plagues, conflict, and climate change are compounding this global food crisis.

To mobilize action and identify solutions to address these threats, we launched the World Food Forum (WFF) – a youth-led movement and network to transform our food systems to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular “zero hunger”. The Forum facilitated by the Youth Committee of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is organized by some 80 partner institutions, including mostly youth groups.

Aligning with the core principles of the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, the WFF aims to serve as the premier platform to engage and harness the passion of youth, galvanizing action and identifying solutions to the growing challenges facing our agrifood systems.
