The UNL Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communications Department and the Nebraska Department of Education host the Western Nebraska Youth Institute. The students researched living conditions and food insecurity in various countries and then proposed a solution to a food insecurity issue in that country. They will present their solutions to global experts who know about food insecurity or production issues around the world.

“We have three schools coming in, where students have done the research, wrote the papers, and then we’ll have center faculty and graduate students participate in being world exports,” said Dr. Troy White, RP lecturer at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Ag Leadership Education and Communications.
