Whether you read it on the signs of photo petitions across Florida, or see it in the eyes that light up over a rooftop garden in Maryland, youth energy for Real Food is alive and growing. From Virginia to Alabama and all across the region students are sitting down with dining services, presenting to university presidents, marching with farm workers, and organizing fellow students—we are taking a stand together for just and sustainable food.
For three days in February this youth-driven energy will converge in Georgia for the 3rd annual Southeast Youth Food Activism Summit (SYFAS). It will be the largest youth convergence for just and sustainable food in the Southeast—uniting over 200 college students and youth allies. With workshops, panels, speakers, and local field trips, SYFAS will be a chance to connect with other youth food activists across the region, to share stories and skills, and to ignite new ideas and opportunities for action, and to form lasting relationships.
No matter where you are in your own food movement- fresh or already dug in- SYFAS is creating a space for a powerful, diverse, youth-driven change. We stand for a better food system; and you’re part of it!

Keep it real,
