Deadline: 30 January 2024

Registration for membership in World Food Forum (WFF) Youth Policy Council 2024-2026 Applications are open. The WFF Youth Action and Policy Track aims to connect and empower young people from diverse backgrounds around the world to discuss their local priorities and challenges and identify innovative and viable solutions for a better food future. One of the key components of Youth Action and Policy is the Youth Policy Board (YPB), which governs the WFF Youth Assembly.

The objective of this group is to govern the Youth Assembly, develop policy positions for youth on food and agricultural issues, and coordinate regional activities, providing strategic guidance for upcoming important events and the Youth Assembly throughout the year and during the WFF's annual flagship event. The objective of the Youth Assembly is to open dialogue on regional and thematic areas for policy contributions, develop opinions, and co-organize/brainstorm activities for the WFF Youth Action Programme.
