WFF Quebec Chapter Co-Founders Sienna Corral (Partnerships Lead) & Lila Sonmaz (MEL Head)
Description
Sienna Corral, Partnerships Lead, and Lila Sonmaz, Head of Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning, are co-founders of the World Food Forum Quebec Chapter, an FAO initiative connecting young leaders working on food security and sustainability.
In this part two conversation, Sienna and Lila open up about their very different paths into food advocacy, how they measure whether their work is actually making a difference, and why you don't need a job title in the food industry to already be part of the system. You'll also learn ways on how you can get involved in food advocacy even as a student in school.
