In August, the Global 4-H Youth Ag Summit will draw 120 young adults from around the world to share ideas to help solve the issue of Feeding a Hungry Planet.
The group will involve 4-H youths, business leaders and scientists representing Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the U.S.
The goal is to share ideas and develop an action plan on how to end global poverty.
The 120 youth applicants will receive an expenses-paid trip to the Ag-Summit for the week long event.
“One revolutionary idea could make history,” said Rob Black, president of 4-H Canada.
“No one person, company or nation holds the answers; but through discussion and collaboration at the global 4-H Youth Ag-Summit in Calgary, it is hoped that agricultural solutions can be found, acted upon and achieved.”
4-H is one of the largest youth development organizations, reaching 7 million young people in 80 or more countries in North America, South America, Central America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
