Youth Food Lab

Youth Food Lab is an incubator program where young people are given the opportunity to make food systems more sustainable with their innovative projects. Youth Food Lab was created to bring idea stage solutions to implementation and scale up existing projects. The program is designed to provide hands-on mentorship, expert workshops, access to a large network, and visibility at the global World Food Forum (WFF) stage in October.

Creating Impact

The Youth Food Lab program will support young innovators to turn their ideas into impactful solutions by providing them with tailored programmes. The participants receive mentorship from experienced professionals in the industry, and expert workshops that will enable them to develop and improve their skills. The incubator programme is designed to provide a comprehensive support system to the young innovators to help them develop their projects.

The Youth Food Lab is dedicated to nurturing and encouraging the next generation of sustainable food system leaders. By providing a platform to young researchers, entrepreneurs and innovators, the Youth Food Lab aims to promote innovation and creativity in the food industry. The program will support the development of innovative and sustainable solutions that can make a significant impact on the food system.
