Young Tanzanians are increasingly turning to agriculture as a route to employment and entrepreneurship, with training, access to markets and business support helping some move from small-scale farming into enterprises that also create jobs. The shift is being demonstrated by young people such as Jessica Lyatuu, 30, a horticulture farmer in Babati, Manyara Region, whose farming enterprise has expanded from a quarter-acre plot into a two-acre business. The programme provides young people with agricultural and business skills, financial literacy, entrepreneurship support and links to markets and financial services.
