Without a just food systems transformation we cannot have a just climate transition. Moreover, without inclusivity we also cannot achieve food systems transformation. Food and agriculture is now getting more recognition, as seen in COP27, there were various pavilions focused on food, including the Food Systems Pavilion (FSP). This year, the FSP wants to ensure that youth voices are heard not only on expert panels, but are also heard throughout the development process of the pavilion leading to COP28. To ensure this, the FSP, along with the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD) and the International Association of Students in Agricultural and related Sciences (IAAS), are working together to establish youth as a co-host of the pavilion.
If your organization is interested in becoming a member of the Youth Co-Host of the Food Systems Pavilion, please fill out the form and answer all questions in detail. A total of fifteen organizations will be selected to work together and ensure youth voices are well represented. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact the Youth Co-Host's representatives, Glindys Virginia Luciano (YPARD) at glindys.luciano@ypard.net and Aya Mounir (IAAS) at vpexternalrelations@iaasworld.org.
