The WFF PDC is your opportunity to streamline policy and skill-building into the WFF network and beyond. Here, you’ll have the chance to make your voice heard on crucial policy matters related to the World Food Forum’s year-long theme.

Eligibility

Once your teams are formed, you will attend a skill-building workshop led by the WFF team. FAO representatives will provide essential insights into FAO’s current initiatives, ensuring a strong knowledge foundation for the competition. You will then submit your initial written submission through which you will present your idea.
