Each year the renowned public speaking competition is held at the Royal Agriculture Winter Fair in Toronto, and the deadline is coming up to apply. There are five topics available for 2017, including discussing the problems about feeding 9 billion people by 2050, as well as the global impact of food waste. Anyone between the ages of 11 and 24 can sign up at the Canadian Youth Speakers for Agriculture website. Since the first competition held at the Royal Winter Fair in 1985, it has gone on to become the premier public speaking event in Canada for young people interested in Agriculture, with more than 1,000 participants over the last 32 years.
