Farmer and extension agent in Ghana

In this batch of “thought leaders” we highlight the submissions by a wide range of people with young spirits, aimed at inspiring young people…

Some of these 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).
