Cate Laskey, Jeanne Gonelle, and Laia Charles are members of the Quebec Youth Chapter of the World Food Forum, an FAO initiative that brings together young leaders to tackle food security and sustainability challenges through collaboration with local partners.
We dig into their story, what the WFF and McGill Youth Advisory Delegation (MYAD) actually are, and explore why young people belong in the conversation about our food system, even before they're officially employed in it.
This is part one of a two part episode. Next week we're back with more members of the chapter, Sienna Corral and Lila Sonmaz, to continue the conversation.
