The theme of International Youth Day 2021 is, “Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health.”
It is so good to know that the UN and the globe recognises the critical roles of young people in contributing to transformed food systems. To achieve this, it will require innovative ideas and moves on the part of the youths. We know that youths are naturally gifted with innovation. It's either it is used negatively or positively.
In Saving Hand Development Initiative (SHADE-IN) we encourage innovations. We encourage young people to channel their innovative minds positively. More young persons need to embrace agriculture, agribusiness, farming, in order to preserve and transform our food systems.
In Nigeria where local farmers are under threat of security of their lives and farms, young people should collaborate and come up with innovative ways to thrive in the agricultural business, while ensuring food security and healthy foods.
Where individuals have access to healthy foods at affordable prices, the immune system will be boosted, hence, we will all live healthier lives. That's how important transforming food systems are.
In June, 2020, SHADE-IN partnered with Emerald Farms and Agro Allied and Seyipotato Farms and Agro Allied to deliver a 3-day webinar on "Tackling the Challenges of Food Insecurity Caused by COVID-19."
In a couple of days, SHADE-IN will be holding a webinar to mark this year's International Youth Day. Watch this space.
On this note, we wish every youth Happy International Youth Day.
