Urban Futures:
Youth Driving Resilient Food Systems with Urban Futures
In 2024, the Urban Futures programme (run in partnership with Hivos) engaged youth in creating inclusive, climate-resilient food systems. Across Latin America, Africa, and Indonesia, young leaders drove significant results. Highlights include 30 entrepreneurs in Cali forming a collaborative network, Mutare’s 45 youth-shaped city budgets, and Bandung’s 27 facilitators promoting healthy eating. Youth participation in multi-stakeholder dialogues ensured their voices influenced policies, fostering sustainable and collaborative food system solutions.
