I attended this informative session by @FAOAfrica . And indeed what @IshmaelSunga highlighted is very very important , youths dont want sexy and fancy agriculture , we are interestes in the numbers (Value)/potential of agriculture. Show us that and enable us.

The #AGRF2023 has started! We're talking opportunities for youth in agrifood systems in Africa with @CGIARgender, @AGRA_Africa and @sacau_media. Ishmael Sunga of Southern African Confederation of Ag Unions says expanding digital tools and policy investments is critical.

At a farmer-led side event on the AU-EU partnership & the role of farmer organizations, @avalkenburg highlighted the role of family farmers & the need to integrate farmers into value chains & strengthen capacities of farmers organisations to influence policies. @worldfarmersorg

So how do we make agriculture more attractive? “Don’t sell #agriculture, sell the opportunities in Agriculture.” @IshmaelSunga, CEO of @sacau_media Very well said.👏🏾 #AASW8 @FARAinfo @ccardesaa

What an inspiring exchange at today's #WFO-#JRTFarmerDialogue! Echoing our Head of Advocacy, Policy & Partnerships @VolpeLu, involving #farmers & their organisations from the beginning is🔑for Governments to succeed in repurposing agriculture policies for #people #nature #climate

And what is key to achieving this? 📢Listening to farmers!📢 On the frontlines of the climate and nature crises, farmers of all types – from those running large-scale agricultural enterprises to the smallest-scale subsistence farmers – have crucial insights to bring to table. 4/4

#BTAtDavos | "Blockchain can be used to provide information to farmers & enable them to negotiate better. Remote sensing is important to measure land. There should be a practice-based reward system for farmers, and not a volume-based one," sats @IshmaelSunga, CEO, SACAU at #WEF22
