WTO hackathon showcases youth proposals on trade and food security

The WTO, in partnership with Geneva Trade Platform and CropLife International, hosted the finals of its first global policy hackathon on trade and food security on 16 September. The competition brought together 58 student teams from over 30 countries, challenging them to “hack” solutions for how international trade rules can contribute to ending hunger. Over two days, the teams produced a wide range of creative proposals, from digital traceability systems for food products and food safety knowledge hubs to infrastructure financing, biofuels strategies and new forms of agricultural negotiating coalitions.
