Youth Voices - Launch of the European Youth Declaration on Food Sovereignty 

The way that food is produced, consumed, and distributed is a major issue facing Europe - and one that directly impacts the lives of young people across the continent. Yet, the voice of young people is not often heard when our food system is being discussed.

Young people from across Ireland and Europe have been working hard over the past year to produce their Declaration on Food Sovereignity, featuring the voices of youth from YFOE Europe, Growing Together, ASEED & La Via Campesina. The Declaration is being officially launched today and will be formally introduced at the Food Sovereignty Webinar on Friday June 5th.
