Urban Futures youth had the opportunity to participate in the 2025 Chongwe District Agriculture and Commercial Show, where they engaged with the theme *“Adapting to Climate Change.”* The event brought together farmers, innovators, and community leaders to explore sustainable agriculture and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
As youth delegates, we explored a wide range of exhibits and activities centered on climate-smart solutions and the importance of building adaptive food systems. We gained knowledge about agroecology, sustainable farming practices, and community-based approaches to resilience.
Through networking, meaningful dialogue, and hands-on learning, we connected with experts and peers, strengthening our vision for a sustainable urban future. The experience reinforced our role in shaping policies and practices that prioritize food system resilience in the face of climate change.
To recognize our engagement and commitment, all participating Urban Futures youth received **certificates of participation**, honoring our contribution to this transformative event.
Our participation in the show was not just about learning—it was about being inspired to act, lead, and advocate for the future we believe in.
