This year’s early disclosure of the dates for the independent, youth-led World Food Forum, an independent, youth-led global network of partners facilitated by the Food and Agricul-ture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), from October 14-18 in Rome, reflects what unquestionably is the current preoccupation of the international community with restoring what, in many instances, are the thoroughly degraded bona fides of global food security. While the Stabroek Busi-ness has been unable, up to this time, to determine whether Guyana will be participating in this event, it is instructive to note that the forum seeks, according to a release on the forum, to spark a global movement that “empowers young people to… actively shape agrifood systems to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a better food future for all.”
