GLF Bonn 2020 Digital Conference was not postponed, but taken online. In this episode we talked to Frederik Buchholz and Celina Schelle about their experiences at the conference as participants and workshop organisers. We also discussed the role of forestry for food security and what implications the current development around online conferences along with the pandemic might have on youth engagement in international platforms.

The CIFOR publication on the role of forests for food security and nutrition (Sunderland, T. et al. 2013) that Frederik mentioned can be read free of charge here: https://www.cifor.org/knowledge/publication/4103/
