Young people are already leading across farming, ag-tech and food systems, yet many still lack the access to land, capital, markets and decision-makers needed to build thriving agricultural businesses. Generational renewal in agriculture is essential for food security, climate resilience and rural prosperity, and it will only happen if farming offers a commercially viable future. Back Future Farmers will bring together young people, policy-makers, funders and institutional partners to explore what it will take to unlock investment in the next generation of farmers.

• Date and time: 13 November 2026, 18:00 to 19:30 (Antalya time)

• Venue: Blue Zone, COP31, Special Event Room 2 (Likya), Antalya, Türkiye

• Online: The event will be broadcast. The broadcast link will be circulated a couple of days ahead of the event, register here to receive the link to watch remotely.

The programme will feature young farmers, policy-makers, funders and institutional partners to discuss how young people access land, capital and markets, and how policy, finance, capacity building and partnerships can support generational renewal in agriculture.
