World Food Forum (WFF) Youth Assembly and FAO Scholarship

The World Food Forum (WFF) Youth Assembly and FAO Scholarship is a prestigious opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students worldwide to engage in global food security discussions. Organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, this program combines a dynamic youth assembly with scholarship funding to support attendance. The WFF Youth Assembly brings together young leaders, innovators, and change-makers to collaborate on sustainable food systems, climate action, and agricultural development. The FAO Scholarship component provides financial assistance to selected participants, covering travel, accommodation, and conference fees. This initiative aims to empower the next generation of food system leaders by offering a platform to share ideas, gain insights from experts, and network with peers from diverse backgrounds. Eligible applicants are typically students aged 18-35 who demonstrate a strong commitment to food security and sustainability. The application process includes submitting a proposal or essay on relevant topics. Successful scholars will attend the assembly, participate in workshops, and contribute to policy recommendations. This scholarship not only fosters academic growth but also provides real-world exposure to international development. For 2026, the focus is on innovative solutions for hunger and malnutrition. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. The WFF Youth Assembly and FAO Scholarship is a career-defining experience for those passionate about making a difference in global food systems.
