The Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL) is a partnership coordinated by the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD), the International Forestry Students Association (IFSA) and the Global AgroEcology Alliance (GAEA). Together, these organisations represent over 50,000 young people working and studying within sectors including agriculture, forestry and agroecology. Today, YIL has become a global movement of young people committed to living and breathing the landscapes philosophy: collaboration, diversity, and collective action.
