| Summary: | This note provides examples that
investors, civil society, and governments can follow to
engage youth in participating in agriculture. Young people
can be the driving force for the inclusive rural
transformation needed to address the many challenges posed
by growing populations, urbanization, and youth
unemployment. Yet, many young people are frustrated by the
lifestylesand opportunities available in rural areas. They
face barriers to their participation in agriculture,
including inadequate access to training, land, credit, and
markets, and a lack of voice in the decision-making
processes that affect their futures. Strategies are needed
to better engage youth in the agriculture sector. |
