 This is a critical moment for our planet and our land. A crucial moment for our future, when the future of our planet will be decided by the brave people that want to step up and make changes happen. Living off the land is a way of life. But we, the young farmers and pastoralists, are facing more challenges than ever. The global climate crisis impacts every aspect of our life, and young people are forced to abandon rural areas to look for jobs and opportunities in cities. Many young people don't see the appeal of being a livestock producer anymore. Getting access to land, credit, education and resources are still challenging for many. Moving towards a sustainable livestock sector is important for us, because this determines our future and we need to be part of the transformation. We, the youth, need to be able to educate ourselves, to acquire new skills, but also understand how to run a successful livestock business. We need more opportunities for young women in the sector. We need to be involved in the decisions affecting our lives to make our sector more sustainable. We want to have a voice in the policymaking process. This process needs to be inclusive and diverse, with women, minorities, small-skill producers and Indigenous peoples represented and present. We are the key to unlocking a sustainable future for the livestock sector. We are ready to take bold decisions, find innovative solutions and make change happen together. We are ready to be part of the transformation, and our journey begins here today. Be part of the transformation, leave no one behind.
