ROME – Is the agriculture sector fated to die out? This migration pattern has contributed to a decades-long global decline in the number of young people working in agriculture and living in rural areas. And in Latin America, 1.2 million young people are expected to leave agriculture by 2030. In addition to its impact on employment, a thriving agriculture sector bolsters overall well-being. It is time to recognize the need to engage young people in agriculture and food systems, both to create decent jobs and, more fundamentally, to feed the world.
