Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

Here are some brief comments on promoting the youth's active participation in agriculture and food systems:

1. Designing agriculture training programs/offerings (e.g. agribusiness) and training methods (for instance through ICT, community-based, industry-informed, mentorship, etc) that are appropriate to the youth.

2. Involving key stakeholders (such as parents, local communities, etc) and not just students.

3. Pursuing value-addition in the food and agriculture value-chain.

4. Development of ICT-based innovations and interventions for agriculture and food security (for instance: via mobile technologies, Internet-of-Things, drones, etc).

5. Promoting youth's access to credit for agriculture and food security projects, activities and businesses.

6. Promoting youth's access to natural resources (e.g. land), agricultural inputs and markets for agriculture and food security projects, activities and businesses.

7. Creating social and support networks through which the youth can share information and access services.
