Focus Area 3.2 Sustainable food supply chains to achieve healthy diets in the context of economic, social and environmental sustainability, and climate change
Sub-focus Area 3.2.6 Empowering youth across food systems
Recommendation Number: 3.2.6.b
Governments, intergovernmental organizations, private sector, non-governmental organizations, and communities should invest in appropriate vocational and skill trainings, formal education, and mentorship programmes for youth to increase their capacity and access to decent work, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, as well as in demand side enabling policies and instruments to create decent work opportunities, to stimulate and be drivers toward sustainable food systems for the next generation. Investments could also include research and actions to support youth in addressing their own nutritional needs and strengthen the role of youth play as change agents influencing the consumption of healthy diets within societies both as contributors in food systems and as influencers in the households and communities.
