I am excited to share that I, Ali Raza Khan, had the honor of participating in the World Food Forum 2024, hosted by the World Food Organisation (FAO) at their headquarters in Rome, Italy The event took place from October 14th to 18th, 2024, and featured a variety of sessions focused on youth engagement in food and agriculture.
One of the highlights of the forum was the Youth Assembly Opening Ceremony, session YM01, held on Monday, October 14th, 2024. This session brought together young leaders, activists, and experts from around the world to discuss the critical role of youth in addressing global food security challenges.
As a young HIV positive food expert and minorities rights activist from Pakistan, I participated in the session and the entire event virtually. My primary area of interest is Global Youth Action, and I was eager to share my experiences and insights on how to engage youth in the fight against food insecurity and climate change.
The session featured several inspiring speakers who emphasized the importance of youth involvement in creating sustainable solutions for food security. Their stories and perspectives were a powerful reminder of the impact that young people can have on shaping the future of our food systems.
Throughout the forum, I had the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations, exchange ideas, and learn about innovative approaches to tackling food security and climate resilience. It was a truly enriching experience, and I am grateful for the chance to be part of such a significant event.
I look forward to continuing my work in advocating for food security and climate resilience, especially for minorities in Pakistan and globally. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from my journey as I strive to make a difference in the world.
