In 2024, the World Food Forum (WFF) flagship event was held from 14 to 18 October at the headquarters of FAO in Rome, Italy, and online. Similar to previous years, it was structured around three main pillars: Global Youth Action, Science and Innovation, and Hand-in-Hand Investment. Through these pillars, the Forum emphasized intergenerational collaboration and cross-sector partnerships across policy, science, education and investment. This year, it also hosted pivotal discussions and events, including the annual World Food Day celebrations, the High-Level Rome Water Dialogue on WASAG (the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture), the Global Family Farming Forum and the Indigenous Peoples’ Advocacy Nomadic Tent. Bringing together over 8 000 participants in Rome and more than 50 000 online, these dialogues and sessions highlighted the WFF’s commitment to fostering inclusive dialogue and action, addressing not only food security but also water scarcity, sustainable family farming and the urgent need for comprehensive, climate-resilient solutions.
