NC undertake activities and projects in line with the WFF's mission and tracks and mobilize youth-led local action to help achieve more sustainable agri-food systems in their respective communities, cities and countries. With NC, young people will have a platform to initiate and sustain solution building in their communities, inform policymaking in their countries and regions, and build lasting transformation in their local agri-food systems. NC are the WFF’s hands on the ground in identifying and addressing local needs and in engaging youth at a localized level. The NC’ activities cumulatively contribute to the broader regional and global collective youth leadership and actions that foster agri-food systems transformation.
