JHS senior Maanit Sheth last week participated in the 2023 Global Youth Institute
The 2023 Global Youth Institute, a weeklong academic conference of high school students, teachers, and experts focused on youth efforts to address global food security issues. Maanit was chosen for the Oct. 24-27 conference in Des Moines after submitting a research paper and presenting his work at the Iowa Youth Institute. His area of focus was on dietary disease and nutrition in India. The Global Youth Institute is part of the World Food Prize Foundation’s Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue. The event brought together people from more than 65 countries to address cutting-edge issues related to global food security and nutrition. All students are welcome to submit papers for this program each year. Interested JHS students can contact Sara Kate Howe at sara.howe@johnston.k12.ia.us
