The WFF Youth Initiative is calling on creatives around the world to use the power of film to spotlight key issues in agrifood systems – from climate and biodiversity to women’s leadership and rural transformation.

The WFF Youth Film Festival showcases the power of visual and narrative storytelling to address complex agrifood system challenges and promote sustainable development. This global competition invites young filmmakers to explore critical themes such as climate change, sustainability and innovation, highlighting both the pressing issues and the transformative solutions needed for more resilient agrifood systems. By amplifying the voices of emerging storytellers, the festival highlights the impact of film in driving awareness and action. Winners are recognized for their work and given the opportunity to present at the World Food Forum flagship event in Rome and livestreamed around the world, where they can engage with a global audience and contribute to meaningful dialogue on shaping agrifood systems through film.
