Young people play a critical role in creating sustainable landscapes. How can we encourage them to contribute?
“Half of the 7 billion global population comprises young people who are under 30 years,” said Peter Holmgren, Director General of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). Yet despite the numbers, youth are often left out of discussions on sustainable landscapes and agriculture. Not so at this year’s Global Landscapes Forum (GLF).
Co-organized by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and CIFOR, this year’s GLF kicked off with eight compelling stories from young people working on the frontlines of agricultural and forestry development.
