Hungarian youth can also join

Young talents from Hungary can also apply for the program. They are looking for teams of at least three people who would promote the sustainability of food production, processing, transportation or consumption with their business ideas. Deadline for applications: April 8, 2025

100 young team leaders from around the world will be selected to receive $8,500 in funding to implement their ideas and participate in a six-month mentoring program with experts providing hands-on support to launch their projects.

Together for Sustainable Food Systems

The initiative focuses on improving the sustainability of food systems, with a focus on regenerative agricultural practices, climate change mitigation, and sustainable packaging innovations. The collaboration builds on the lessons learned from a successful pilot project in Latin America in 2023 that used digital tools to improve efficiency and sustainability in rural areas of Mexico.

“A highly skilled future workforce and a sustainable supply chain are essential for Nestlé’s success. The sustainability of food systems is key for future generations,”

said Laurent Freixe, CEO of Nestlé.
