We need youth involvement and dynamism in agriculture to boost crop yields.

Agriculture and industrialization are the determiners of a Country's development paste. This is because the sector if industrialize requires farm inputs as well as investments. When these inputs are produced in the country, they will tend to be cheaper and also readily available to farmers, examples machinery, pesticides, chemical and organic fertilizers etc.
However, the boost in the sector can only be achieved when youths actively get interested in either investing or involved in the sector as it is been done mostly by the ageing population especially in developing countries.

This is because they will have a better understanding of why it requires improved agronomic systems as well as sustainable environment whereas the ageing population is always consistently resistant to so change, examples burning, shifting cultivation etc.
Their involvement will equally solve the problems of ageing and populations as well.

Again, it will contribute greatly thanks to the role of social media, training programs offered, professional education and forums that will help improve on their potentials as well as create ready markets for the sale of their produce, example Steemit platform which educates and encourages youths in all their activities through good content.

With all these duly considered, it will change the myth that the venture is for old and uneducated populations thus increase crop yields that will greatly contribute in containing the increasing world's population with their pressure on food.

Sort:  

It will also be great if the government can encourage the youths to get engage in agriculture because the few who are involve get discourage by government policies.
