Join the CSIS Global Food Security Project and the CSIS Youth, Prosperity, and Security Initiative in welcoming six Growing the Future fellows to Washington, DC. These agricultural practitioners and entrepreneurs are spending a week engaging with policy makers from the federal government and non-governmental thought leaders. Our inaugural fellows, hailing from East and West Africa, will provide insights on what is working well in U.S. international agricultural development programs as well as make recommendations for improvements and offer ways that the U.S. can continue to support youth leadership in global food security.
At a critical time, CSIS will bring together experts in youth engagement, global food security, and entrepreneurship to discuss the importance of U.S. leadership in agricultural development. All of the Growing the Future fellows have direct experience working with Feed the Future, the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food security initiative.
