Investing in Youth For Sustainable Agri-Food Systems : Linking Education to Job Opportunities

On 24 September 2025 in Beirut, the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture and CIHEAM co-organised an international seminar dedicated to CIHEAM’s Lebanese alumni. The purpose was clear: to place youth, skills and innovation back at the heart of the country’s agrifood transformation.

The seminar took place as part of a CIHEAM mission to Lebanon that included several high-level meetings. It comes at a pivotal moment: as reconstruction and modernisation efforts continue, youth engagement and capacity building are decisive to building more sustainable and more resilient agrifood systems.
