2024 World Food Forum: Registration Open!

Every person on this planet needs good food to thrive, yet the agrifood systems that provide us with food are under increasing pressure.

Currently, we are off track to meet Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, Zero Hunger. In six years, instead of reaching this goal, it is estimated that over 590 million people around the globe will still suffer from hunger, jeopardizing the achievement of the entire 2030 Agenda. At the same time, our planet faces multiple crises that are directly linked to our agrifood systems, including climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation and soil degradation.

In 2024 the World Food Forum (WFF) – a youth-led movement and network to transform our agrifood systems – is committed to the theme: “Good food for all, for today and tomorrow”.

The WFF is mobilizing people of all ages from around the world through a range of events, innovations, targeted agrifood investments and climate finance, and solutions designed to spark holistic, strategic and at-scale sustainable agrifood systems transformation.

The WFF 2024 flagship event is now open for registration. Register now to join the WFF and take action for agrifood systems transformation and for our shared future.
