Irrigation in Nicaragua

Here is the last batch of submissions for “thought leaders”. Reading through them, you will realize these submissions not only span the globe, but also that young people work on a large and wide diversity of projects.

A selection of these submissions will get a chance to speak at our youth session, part of the Global Landscapes forum. The youth session is coordinated by YPARD (the Young Professionals’ Platform for Agricultural Research for Development).

The submissions were based on our appeal for inspiring young people and thought leaders.

To read each of the 15 following submissions, click on “Show submission” under each, and click on the star-rating! You can rate as many submissions you want.

We will announce the most popular submissions at the Global Landscapes Forum Youth Session. The top five will get a “Prize from the Public”, sponsored by Agriculture for Impact (@Ag4Impact).
