SOMETHING ABOUT S-YICGG


The Summit of Youth Innovation Competition on Global Governance

This year, with generous sponsorship by China Corporation United Pavilion in


Milano Expo, the Summit of YICGG will move to the beautiful Italian city---Milano,
showing our youth's concern about the new trend of the globe. The Summit of
YICGG will last for 3 days during Aug. 18th-20th.
The Summit of YICGG started in 2010 in cooperation with Shanghai World Expo. It
served as the conclusion of the former 3 sessions of YICGG (2007-2009), enabling all
the BPP/MIT/MVPs to demonstrate their awarded proposals on the stage of
international attention. Since then, every 5 years Summit of YICGG will be held in
association with World Expo.

B. Theme Interpretation
Humanity civilization made all its progresses based on the concern of food issues. The
21st century witnesses the twilight of highly-developed cuisine industry. Nevertheless,
it also endures the pain of hunger. Human race never imagined that science and
technology would create a variety of severe food security problems and unbalanced
distribution situations where regional disputes and conflicts made worse, despite the
tremendous growth in the food production and relatively fair allocation system
worldwide.

Youth, the hope of this world, shall take the responsibility of food security innovation
when it becomes a global problem today. On the issue of Youth in Food Security
Innovation, we have such following considerations:
1) How may the youth solve the future food crisis, like the coming-up grain crisis?
2) What are the youth's constructive proposals on today's unfair situation of food
distribution and how may they donate to the transnational food security control?

innovation in your states?
