Welcome to the 2022 Global Youth Institute! 

The 2022 Global Youth Institute (GYI) is a week-long virtual academic conference focused on youth efforts to address global food security issues. The World Food Prize Foundation believes that elevating youth voices is crucial to creating a more food secure, equitable, and sustainable world.

During the GYI, students will present research that they have conducted before a panel of roundtable of experts, participate in an interactive group project focused on global food security challenges, and attend workshops, where they will learn from leaders on issues related to food security, agriculture, climate change, and sustainability.
