What can we do to create awareness...???
The following are some suggestion...
Families and communities must promote the establishment of young farmers’ clubs, which can provide a way for young people to share experiences, support each other and socialise.
Governments and partners must hold agricultural shows in both urban and rural areas to promote the importance of the agriculture sector, emphasising local produce and traditional agriculture methods and techniques.
Governments and partners must make an effort to showcase youth success stories, including the development of awards targeting young farmers or youth groups.
Governments and partners must engage the media in disseminating positive messages about the importance of agriculture and the opportunities it offers, and showcase success stories of young men and women farmers. Appropriate champions (e.g. sport and media personalities) should be used to deliver such messages.
Positive Political will is essential for the of anything. Governments have to support young people in their venture by providing start-up loans or training the youth to build their capacity.
