Youth Dialogue on Food Systems Transformation
Addressing the Food System Dynamics: Nigerian Youths as Frontline Actors
As part of the United Nations Food Systems Summit Dialogues, Impact Nutrition Africa Initiative (INAI) convened an independent youth-focused dialogue aimed at reimagining Nigeria’s food system through a youth-inclusive lens.
This open and inclusive event brought together youth stakeholders from across all sectors of the food value chain to critically examine Nigeria’s food system and propose actionable solutions for a more sustainable and equitable future.
The primary goal of the dialogue was to explore realistic and workable strategies for transforming the Nigerian food system, while amplifying youth voices as agents of change.
The dialogue was structured around five thematic areas critical to achieving food system transformation:
- Food and Nutrition Security
- Consumer Education
- Climate-Smart Agriculture
- Food Trade
- FinTech for Resilience
Outcomes from the dialogue contributed to national and global conversations on food systems and highlighted the importance of youth engagement in creating a sustainable food future for Nigeria.
