Rural youth in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) face several challenges, including access to knowledge, training, and natural resources, particularly land and financial resources. They also have limited access to markets, decent employment opportunities, engagement in policy processes, and much more.
To enhance the support to rural youth and better coordinate the youth-related processes in the ECA region FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia organizes the Regional Rural Youth Forum with the participation of young entrepreneurs, representatives of ministries, academia, civil society, private sector, and international organizations.
If you would like to follow the conversations and see the good practices showcased, please register through the link above and join us online!
The two-day forum will be held in Budapest in a hybrid format with the aim to:
· Provide a platform for exchange among youth actors, policymakers and representatives of international partners in the region;
· Exchange information regarding the situation, challenges and pathways of rural youth;
· Showcase the possible role of youth in agriculture and food system transformation;
· Discuss policy options to empower youth to ensure equitable agrifood livelihoods and sustainable rural development.
