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

The follow-up consultation provides space for youth to exchange perspectives and recommendations on the GPA's key priority areas. The goal is to strengthen youth participation in global policy discussions on sustainable livestock systems.

The session aligns with FAO's effort to promote inclusive and sustainable livestock transformation.
