Organized as part of the World Food Forum, this regional event will focus on the pivotal role of youth in preserving and enhancing soil health through sustainable soil management practices, ultimately driving a transformative shift in agrifood systems. This session also explores the critical role of education in fostering the future generation of farmers and innovators, as well as strategies to bridge generational divides and maximize the agricultural potential of youth by embracing technology and fostering innovation.
