Agriculture is the engine that drives the economies of many low- and middle-income nations. But many young people do not see agriculture as a viable way to support themselves. They’ve watched their parents struggle and, instead, choose to migrate toward urban centers hoping for better opportunities that often fail to materialize.
Growth and self-dependency can only be achieved through adopting strategic activities that involve the youth. The youth embody the strength and hope for a better tomorrow in every community. Unfortunately, youth are often rendered incapable of living up to that expectation. Youth, especially in rural communities, are mostly uninformed or limited by a dearth of knowledge and access to resources. These challenges stand in the way of a bright future. However, mitigating these challenges is possible through the collaborative efforts of people and organizations who are passionate about the progress of this revolution.
The youth we work with are constantly growing, whether it’s starting small businesses or paying it forward in their communities, they are in the process of becoming the leaders of tomorrow.
