"On the 20th of October, 2023, we celebrated World Food Day with a visit to a cooperative vegetable farm “Irewolede multipurpose Farmer's cooperative managed by OYSADA, where the focus was on the vital role of water in agriculture.

The farm relies on a large water source, a dam, which is the only active one among the four large water bodies in Oyo state. Mr. Yinka, the chairman of the farmers' cooperative, highlighted the significance of this water source and the challenges they faced, including a foaming incident caused by toxic chemicals near a tributary.

During the trip, Estate High School students, SFYN Nigeria members, and community members from the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ibadan, gained insights into the critical role of water in agriculture and its importance for human sustenance.

This experience underscores the role of youths and children in ensuring safe water access and promoting agricultural sustainability from the grassroots level, aligning with the theme 'Water is Life, Water is Food, leave no one behind' for World Food Day."

On this International Day Of The World’s , we would like to initiate a journey through the work of the Slow Food Indigenous Peoples Network.

The campaign is about the ongoing efforts of IP to protect their foods and cultural identity from extinction.
These efforts serve as inspiring examples for every food activist worldwide, showcasing the power of local knowledge and community-led initiatives.

We owe Indigenous Peoples respect and support in their hard work to safeguard their gastronomical heritage.

About Slow Food Youth Network
