YPARD held observer status on the GCARD2 Organising Committee and brought a strong youth focus to the conference including the issues of attracting and retaining youth in agricultural careers, youth input in agricultural curriculum reform and engaging youth in foresight.

YPARD was recognized as the youth mechanism of GCARD2 and for future youth empowerment, in the conclusion of GCARD2 sessions.
