Agriculture matters to the future of development. Agriculture is up to 4 times more effective than other sectors in reducing poverty. The world is counting on agriculture to produce more nutritious food and to improve the livelihoods of a booming population,especially the poor.

Many young people and especially in Africa are interested in venturing into the business of agricultural sector and its related ventures but few are able to materialize their plans from the head to paper and into reality and development.

Sure but on my side its the other way round. Agriculture is a career too..Horticulture, Agronomy, Crop science, crop Protection and Improvement, Plant breeding, Agricultural biotechnology, Agricultural microbiology, Agricultural Entomology etc

#Fact When one hears or talk about agriculture the only thing that comes in mind is the job for the poor and the illiterates. From childhood the youth is taught to perceive farming as a dirty work and has no future. #YouthsInAgriculture

Most people think Agriculture is for Non Educated people or Non top performers or either village people who has no other business. We have to create awareness even to school children that Agriculture is even a career like others

There is the need for mass education to change the mindset of the youth and the general public about agriculture by referencing success of agriculture in other continents or countries. #YouthsInAgriculture

This must be addressed to help youth invest in Agriculture

#FACT Financial institutions hardly provide financial assistance to young people who want to start farming business because these institutions want quick returns on their loans and hence give these funds to non-agricultural venture.

#FACT There are lack or shortage of successful individuals in the field of agriculture to serve as mentors to the teeming youth. There are few well established agriculture firms that the youth may learn from to rekindle their spirit for business in the agriculture sector.

@FarmbizAfrica MY opinion: a fence needed around the water collection point as this is a dangerous spot for children. Good water harvesting approach
