🌱 Juventudes rurales se toman la agenda de la Reforma Agraria en el marco de ICARRD+20

El evento, impulsado por organizaciones juveniles de diferentes regiones de Colombia, junto con la Coalición Internacional por el Acceso a la Tierra (ILC) y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura FAO, busca poner en el centro las voces, experiencias y propuestas de las juventudes, actores clave en temas relacionados con la gobernanza de la tierra. 🌾

El evento combinará un panel multiactor con metodologías participativas que permitirán recoger propuestas, identificar barreras y visibilizar rutas de incidencia juvenil que ya se vienen construyendo desde los territorios. Asimismo, conectará las discusiones nacionales con los debates internacionales sobre juventud, tierras y sistemas alimentarios sostenibles.

🌱 We’re so grateful for everyone who made it to this beautiful launch event of the Women and Youth-led Network Alliances Programme!

Joined by farmers, students, teachers, agripreneurs, policy specialists, community leaders, diverse stakeholders came together to talk about how agroecology and organic agriculture promotes holistic ways of women and youth inclusion in agrifood systems. 🌾

The launch took place at Jero Farm, a local, urban agroecological hub 🍃in Entebbe, Uganda that grows organic food and collaborates with the community to promote sustainable agricultural practices.

We thank everyone who was part of this event, with special gratitude to our partners, GIZ, and our hosts at Jero Farm.

💫 The Women and Youth-led Network Alliances Programme will expand and build on the knowledge and initiatives under the Knowledge Platform for Organic Agriculture and Agroecology in Africa (KCOA), with women and youth at the core of all its activities. 🌍 It is being implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with YPARD, PELUM Kenya Association, and African Green Store Network.

Unsafe food = unhealthy youth, lost opportunities, and broken promises on the SDGs. We’re here to address that! From local farms to global policies, young people are leading the charge for safer food systems that protect our health, reduce waste, and secure our future. 🌱🌍
