Youth Assembly Consultation on the FAO Global Action Plan on Sustainable Livestock Transformation
This consultation session builds on the Youth Assembly session on livestock held during the World Food Forum flagship event in October. Participants first engaged with FAO's Animal Production and Health Division to discuss the Global Plan of Action.
Session Purpose
