Call for Applications: 2025 World Food Forum flagship event (held in Rome & Online)
The World Food Forum (WFF) flagship event is a global platform that drives action to transform agrifood systems through the power of youth, science and innovation, and investment. Bringing together all stakeholders, it serves as a dynamic space for turning ideas into actions, scaling solutions and forging synergistic partnerships. By uniting diverse voices and fostering cross-sectoral and intergenerational collaboration, it accelerates progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals, driving action at global, regional and local levels.
In 2025, the World Food Forum flagship event will be held from 10 to 17 October at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy, and online.
This year’s event marks a milestone: FAO’s 80th anniversary, commemorated through a week of global dialogue, knowledge exchange and solution-driven collaboration, all guided by the theme “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future” and FAO’s four betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life.
Organized around three pillars, Global Youth Action, Science and Innovation Forum, and the Hand-in-Hand Initiative Investment Forum, the 2025 WFF flagship event serves as a vibrant platform for bold ideas and inclusive partnerships. The programme spans high-level dialogues, consultations, innovation labs, interactive pitching events, hackathons, matchmaking meetings, exhibitions and cultural showcases that spotlight the many ways people everywhere are shaping a better food future.
The week will also feature additional high-profile events, including the annual World Food Day and the official inauguration of the Food and Agriculture Museum and Network (MuNe), a vibrant, interactive space designed to bridge global food technologies and cultures by showcasing the traditions and innovations that shape agrifood systems. This will be complemented by the FAO Global Exhibition: From Seeds to Foods, as well as special sessions as part of the annual edition of the Rome Water Dialogue, a nomadic Indigenous Peoples’ territory at FAO’s 80th anniversary, and the South-South and Triangular Cooperation Ministerial Dialogue.
Whether you are looking to learn about this year’s theme, share your knowledge and ideas with others, celebrate innovation or build meaningful connections this global forum is your platform to engage, collaborate and take meaningful action.
