4 –5 April 2019, Washington, DC - At the 2019 Planet Forward Summit, students from across the United States gathered to learn how to be storytellers of impact for the planet. The two-day summit covered topics ranging from ocean plastics to conservation; environmental policy to plant based diets, and brought speakers from Now This, Terra Cycle, Mars Inc., and National Geographic among others.

During the conference Vimlendra Sharan, Director of FAO North America, announced an opportunity for three students to attend the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) that will take place in Rome from 14-18 October. Applications are open till May 31.

Last year, four students from universities across the United States had the opportunity to attend CFS and the official World Food Day proceeding at FAO Headquarters. Read their insights in the A Zero Hunger Future series. 

Applications are open until May 31.
