YM11 - Young Scientists Group: Young women navigating agrifood systems in conflict settings.


The session YM11: Young Scientists Group: Young women navigating agrifood systems in conflict settings takes place on October 14, 2026, at 12:30 Rome time in the Green Room at the FAO Headquarters during the World Food Forum flagship event.

Focus of the Session
Report Launch: The World Food Forum Young Scientists Group launches its biennial report titled Resilience under pressure: Young women navigating conflict in Agrifood Systems.
Addressing Data Gaps: The report highlights how young women are frequently overlooked or grouped broadly under "women" or "youth," masking the specific intersectional challenges they face.
Conflict Impacts: It examines how conflict and protracted crises disrupt food production, restrict mobility, limit land/input access, and exclude young women from decision-making.
Resilience and Agency: It explores how young women actively sustain household food security and adapt or transform under severe shocks, identifying the enabling conditions needed to support them.
Policy & Collaboration: The discussion brings together young scientists, FAO leadership, and global experts to translate these research findings into inclusive, youth- and gender-responsive policies
