The Participation of youth in the wider food security dialogue could be ensured through different channels. First of all, youth could be involved in food security dialogue when they are still in primary or high school. That means their life sciences teachers should make them bold to food security discussion to increase their interest in that area. Secondly media like TV show on food issue could also involve youth in food discussion to increase their awareness in food issue. Finally, international conferences in food security should be organized in developing or developped countries for youth as we know there is several youth organisations like YPARD and others youth organisations. Do so will help youth in wide food discussion and interact in FSN forum.
Mr. Dadji Stephane Serge Bonny
I would like first to thank all the team of FSN in addressing this topic as a discussion in this forum. Youth face big challenges in developing countries. First to have access to land as they are seen not to be so much responsible at this age 15-17 in some developing countries. Secondly the lack of education is a factor that plays against them to have access to financial support. I think youth can be supported if we can organize, educate and let them become responsible at this age in term of developing the agriculture sector in rural area. Agriculture policy must be oriented to those rural youth because they can contribute a lot to the development of agriculture, food security and the fight against malnutrition in developing countries.
