Since its inception, the Youth Ag Summit has had a concrete impact on shaping the next generation of sustainable agriculture champions. More than 400 delegates from almost 50 different countries have taken part in the program to date. Our impact goes beyond the Summits themselves. We strive to foster and support a network of “agvocates” who are committed to tackling food security and sustainability challenges in tangible ways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the Youth Ag Summit, each delegate identifies Three Little Things \u2013 a personal challenge to implement their learnings in their local community. Each delegate also comes to the summit with a Thrive for Change project. Delegates will work to develop concrete project plans for their ideas and will be encouraged to implement the project upon completion of the Summit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Planning for 2021 was significantly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, the 2021 Summit will be held virtually on November 16-17, 2021. \u00a0But that doesn\u2019t mean the global impact and opportunities of YAS have changed. This time, the Summit will take place over two days followed by a ten-week virtual incubator called “YAS University” in early 2022. This online accelerator platform has been developed in partnership with the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN SDSN) and is aimed at developing project ideas through key insights and capacity building. After completing YAS University, delegates will have the opportunity to pitch their Thrive for Change Projects to a panel of judges for potential funding, additional networking\/mentorship opportunities, and other prizes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The momentum from the Summit\u00a0continues to drive action from all our agvocates. Youth Ag Summit alumni have spoken at a range of global events, from the UN Committee on Food Security in Rome and the Nuffield Farming Scholars Annual Conference to the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture and the European Development Days \u2013 to name just a few.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
