Description<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our planet faces the challenge of feeding an expanding population \u2013 predicted to reach almost 10 billion by 2050 \u2013 with fewer resources than ever. To do this in a sustainable manner, new solutions are needed. Ideas and innovations that take into account the day-to-day realities of farming, agricultural production and food consumption. Ideas that will transform today\u2019s challenges into tomorrow\u2019s opportunities. We believe that, as the agricultural leaders of tomorrow, young people should be at the forefront of these efforts.<\/p>\n

The Youth Ag Summit is a global forum where young leaders can collaborate to develop sustainable solutions for food security and global agriculture, and work towards becoming global instruments of change. The Summit is organized by Bayer.
The Summit takes place every two years, with previous editions having been held in Canada (2013), Australia (2015) and Belgium (2017). The next edition of the Youth Ag Summit will take place in Brasilia, Brazil from November 4 \u2013 6, 2019.<\/p>\n

Eligibility<\/span><\/h3>\n

100 young leaders aged 18-25 (as of 3 November 2019), who are interested in agriculture, international development, environmental stewardship, food security, biotechnology or farming, will be selected to participate in the Summit. They are expected to come to the table with an appetite to advocate for agriculture, a concrete project idea, and a desire to make a lasting impact on food security. The delegates will be supported throughout the Summit by external mentors and Youth Ag Summit alumni.<\/p>\n

Costs<\/span><\/h3>\n

The costs for attending the Summit are covered by the Youth Ag Summit organizers. These include: flights, transportation, accommodation, and catering during the event. Any other travel costs unrelated to Youth Ag Summit activities will not be covered by the organizers.<\/p>\n
