This Side Event is an opportunity for young people and CFS stakeholders to interactively exchange on an equal basis on some of the biggest challenges related to food systems and nutrition. The focus will be on two key questions:
1) How can young people support the work and outcomes of the CFS?
2) How can the CFS better incorporate the voices of young people in their work?
By starting with stories and examples from young people we aim to approach a political discussion from practice, bringing us back to what the CFS is about; improving the daily lives of people.
