Agri Champions Workshop Series 2024 targets young smallholder farmers, agripreneurs, and youth working in the agricultural sector.

The initiative brings together ~15 youth grassroot voices from the world of smallholder farming and agricultural entrepreneurship in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Zambia, to share their  experience with adapting their practices to climate change.

During the workshops you will develop a youth demand paper to be elevated in high-level political fora by BKMC co-chair and 8th Secretary-General of the UN Ban Ki-moon. The thematic focus of the 2024 Demand Paper will be “locally-led adaptation for smallholder farming”.

In the past years, Youth AgriChampions joined the BKMC delegation at COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh and COP28 in Dubai to launch the Youth AgriChampions Demand Paper .
