Food is the Future

On 22 September a day ahead of the Food Systems Summit young people from across the globe will gather with decision makers to discuss the future of our food systems.

Food systems transformation has the potential to address many issues – from hunger to obesity, biodiversity and climate change and from healthy diets to decent jobs. It is a huge accelerator to achieving the SDG agenda by 2030. 

Youth are most affected by today’s choices and yet they have the least to say in those choices. That must change. Youth must have a leading role in shaping fair, sustainable, resilient and equitable food systems, owing to their future and influence. The future is youth, and food is the future. 

The Food is the Future event is convened by youth representatives interested and working in food systems, namely the Act4Food Act4Change among other youth organisations, in collaboration with the 6 Action Track Chairs and their respective organisations. 

Invited speakers include many youth representatives from different stakeholder groups, the Action Track Chairs and those connecting food systems to other global debates such as climate change.
