The International Young Farmers’ Forum
The International Young Farmers’ Forum (YFF) brings together up to 20 young farmers from all continents. The young farmers actively contribute to the GFFA by sharing the experiences gained on their own farms or from their work in national farming organizations. Their role is decisive in shaping the global food supply of the future. The YFF and the GFFA offer them the opportunity to be heard at international level. Two representatives of the group will present a statement on the GFFA topic commonly drafted by the group to the GFFA agriculture ministers’ conference on Saturday 20th January 2024.
The event only addresses invited young farmers and is therefore not open to the public.

In the 2023 forum, 20 young farmers elaborated their demands on the main topic of the GFFA “Transforming food systems: A global response to multiple crises” in a joint declaration and presented them to the agriculture ministers from over 70 countries.
