Agriculture is more than farming. It is a pathway to employment, entrepreneurship, innovation, food security and sustainable economic development. Across Africa, agriculture and agribusiness continue to offer significant opportunities for young people, yet many are still unaware of how they can participate and build sustainable livelihoods within the sector.
To explore these opportunities, Grow Africa Futures, in collaboration with AgriRise Foundation and Agric Generation, is bringing together young people, farmers, agripreneurs, development practitioners, investors and agriculture enthusiasts for an engaging cross-border webinar.
