Through a competitive process, youth-led initiatives aligned with green and climate-resilient agriculture are selected to receive training and mentoring to support their development. The most promising candidates are invited to participate in global events such as the International Conference for Youth in Agriculture (ICYA) and the United Nations Climate Change Conference. This capacity building series supports young people working in the agricultural sector and food system to apply technical knowledge relevant for green and climate resilient agriculture to their day to day activities. |
