Regional Youth Consultation - Who will stay then? How digitalization can bring youth back to agriculture in Europe and Central Asia

Side event of World Food Forum Flagship Event - Regional Youth Consultation

This Youth Consultation aims to provide a platform for young farmers, digital innovators and academia to share their success stories, experiences, approaches, and key challenges related to the application of digital technologies in agriculture. The event will advocate for youth’s digital innovation, foster and strengthen the dialogues between stakeholders, and make youth's voices and concerns heard and considered.

As a result of engaging young speakers, the event is expected to challenge widespread knowledge about employment in agriculture and provide a platform to discuss the role of digital technologies in stimulating it.

The feedback gathered during the consultation will serve as a basis for REU’s Digital Agriculture Team and REU Regional Initiative on Empowering smallholders, family farms and youth to facilitate rural livelihoods and poverty reduction and to plan further the work around the challenges and opportunities identified during the event. Moreover, the regional youth consultations will also contribute to the Regional Youth Action Compendium by listing the key priority areas for youth action in Europe and Central Asia.
