Young people are positioned as agents of change—bringing fresh perspectives, digital skills, and entrepreneurial energy to reimagine how food is produced, distributed, and consumed. By equipping them with knowledge of nutrition, sustainability, and equity, the Lab aims to foster a cadre of leaders who can influence policy, mobilize communities, and innovate solutions that address climate, health, and livelihood challenges.

Through mentorship, peer learning, and networks, AL 7 creates platforms for youth voices to be heard and amplified. It positions them not just as beneficiaries of food systems reform but as active leaders shaping India’s food future.
