Growing with Heart and Earth

YARN is a network of youth and youth-led civil society groups, farmers, scientists, and activists from the Global South. Our collective focus is on harnessing the principles of agroecology and best practices to champion the right to healthy food, restore soil health, and align agrifood systems with the landscape restoration, biodiversity conservation, and climate adaptation agenda, and the global sustainable development goals. Its members engage with a spectrum of critical food-related issues, spanning nutrition, inequality and social justice, environmental justice, resilience, and livelihoods, aligned with global agreements and processes.

YARN has a network of over 20 youth groups across 18 countries, mostly in Africa and the Asia-Pacific.
