There are many actions that can be adopted to enable youth participation in transforming the food systems especially with the upcoming of the UN Food System Summit 2021 (FSS). Firstly, young people have to be given the opportunity to contribute to the global discussion of the food system and their priorities should be considered by respective key players. While youths’ contributions are essential, forming youth coalitions to bring together youths’ knowledge and voices will be paramount during transforming the food system. Youth Leaders for Nutrition, African Youth Leaders for Food System Summit and the Youth Champion Coalition of the UN Food System Summit are some examples of mouthpieces for youths’ contributions in the upcoming FSS. As the UN Food Systems Summit will soon kick off with in-country Food System Dialogues to develop actions that can transform food system at national level, young people should be supported with relevant information to participate in the dialogues and contribute their ideas.
