Agri-food systems are the interconnected processes of food production, distribution, and consumption, shaped by socio-economic and political factors.
They involve individuals, communities, businesses, and governmental policies, creating a complex ecosystem where economics, politics, nature, and human interactions intersect. Understanding this dynamic landscape is essential for promoting global food security and sustainability.
With youth comprising over 16% of the global population, their involvement in agri-food systems is both significant and promising. Many young people are already active participants in various aspects of these systems.
At YPARD, we collaborate with young professionals in agri-food systems, alongside other youth organizations, educational institutions, local communities, and stakeholders. Together, we aim to promote intergenerational exchange and cooperation, leveraging youth energy, creativity, and fresh perspectives to sustainably transform our agri-food systems.
