In line with the themes of Expo 2015, the fourth edition of BCFN YES! 2015 gathered together the most highly qualified and expert candidates from the world of higher education to look at the greatest problems faced by the global food system, facilitating a multidisciplinary and international approach. All participants in the competition were involved in the Youth Manifesto initiative, a charter which forcefully calls on world leaders to deal with the great challenges facing the planet: famine, obesity, food waste and exploitation of the Earth.
“Eco-Sustainable Gardens: Empowering Minority Women” by Ndia Ndum Foy and Okon Archibong Ukeme, and “Analog Forestry: Productive Conservation To Fight Deforestation” by Francesca Recanati were the co-winning projects of BCFN YES! 2015.
