RE: TO FARM OR NOT TO FARM? OPPORTUNITIES FOR AFRICAN YOUTH IN AGRICULTURE AND AGRO- BUSINESS

in #africa7 years ago

Our generation's mindset was twisted long time ago. Go to school and make it. Jobs in the city make a difference. Now telling the same people that agriculture is the solution doesn't make sense. However, for those who have embraced farming there are plenty of opportunities. What we need now is access to financial support and better structures to market products and reduce waste.

Sort:  

Agreed.
What I worry about is that the percentage of older people on farms is too high. What happens in the future?

We start preaching that farming is profitable as any other business out there.

yes. That is the spirit.
