In celebration of International Youth Day, the World Food Forum (WFF)'s Global Youth Action Initiative (Youth Initiative) presents the second edition of its youth marathon, this year in the form of a Regional Webinar Marathon, titled, “Youth, Hand in Hand for a Better Agrifood Future”.

Taking place on 12 August 2025, this global series of youth-led webinars would spotlight the work of WFF National Youth Chapters, offering young people everywhere the chance to engage, learn and lead in the transformation of agrifood systems. Organized in collaboration with the Decentralized Offices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and WFF National Youth Chapters, the Regional Webinar Marathon reflects a growing global movement to amplify youth voices in shaping the future of our agrifood systems.

Building on the momentum of the 2024 WFF 24-Hour Events Marathon, this Regional Youth Marathon brings together young leaders, policymakers, civil society and development partners, to foster collaboration, encourage knowledge sharing and promote meaningful youth participation at all levels.
