About this event

Overview

The 2022 International Black Youth Food Sovereignty

Forum will be a one-day virtual event that features

presentations by Black food sovereignty experts

and youth delegates from Canada, U.S., Jamaica,

Trinidad and Ghana, to highlight the role of African-

Caribbean-Black (ACB) youth in the food

sovereignty movement. The Forum will

also feature breakout sessions for discussions

and networking around specific topics. We hope

the forum will help to plant seeds for a broader

youth-led Black food sovereignty movement.
