As the effects of climate change intensify along with a growing world population, it is crucial to transition towards sustainable and climate-sensitive food systems capable of meeting the needs of the current and future generations under unpredictable conditions; and enhancing the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in agriculture may be a way to do so.
On the occasion of the World Food Forum, the Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM) and The IFAD Youth Network are co-organizing the side event “Youth4Youth: Harnessing Biodiversity’s Potential for Building Resilience and Managing Climate Risks in Food Systems” which will be held at the FAO Headquarters (Philippine room) on 17 October at 17:00 CET. The event is hybrid and can be followed online through this link.
Join us and hear from young activists and leading experts to explore youth-led initiatives that support the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity as an approach to agricultural risk management in light of building resilience to climate risks.
The event will also promote smallholder farmers engagement through the PARMArtChallenge, an art exhibition that portrays the faces of our #FoodHeroes.
To participate online, you must register to the WFF 2023 Flagship Event and choose from the list of events: “YE07 – Harnessing biodiversity’s potential for managing climate risks in food systems”.
