Global Youth Institute

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture will select and send two Saskatchewan students and their teacher/mentor to represent the province at the 24th annual Global Youth Institute from October 17-20, 2018, in Des Moines, Iowa. Each year, more than 200 exceptional high school students from around the world are selected to participate in the four-day Global Youth Institute hosted by the World Food Prize Foundation.

The Global Youth Institute provides delegates with opportunities to connect with other students and teachers from around the world, tour cutting-edge industrial and research facilities, and take part in symposium discussions with global leaders in science, industry and policy. Selected students will interact with Nobel and World Food Prize Laureates and discuss pressing food security and agricultural issues with international experts. Visit the Global Youth Institute website for more information about the event.

Selected students prepare a guided research paper on the theme of global food security prior to the event.
