A movement by youth for youth for agricultural development

YPARD is an international movement by Young Professionals for Young Professionals for Agricultural Development.

YPARD operates as a network; it is not a formalized institution.

This global online and off-line communication and discussion platform is meant to enable and empower young agricultural

leaders around the world to shape sustainable food systems.

Coordinating a mentoring programa toolkit for agriculture, forestry, landscapes and other sectors

This toolkit synthesizes a decade of learnings and resources from agriculture and forestry mentoring programs implemented by YPARD, IFSA and AWARD.

It was developed as part of a GFAR Collective Action and funded by the Global Forum on Agricultural Research and Innovation (GFAR) and the European Union.
