"Attracting young people to agriculture is essential to create a future to sustainably feed the world," said Roger Batkin, Board Chair of the Foundation. "Through strategic partnerships and programs, our Foundation is helping a new generation of agricultural leaders be ready to tackle the challenges of agricultural and food systems. Our collaboration with the FAO World Food Forum affirms our commitment to building skills and capacity, cultivating knowledge and creating pathways for young people to meaningfully engage in agriculture."
"Formal education programmes often fall behind in preparing young people for leadership roles in the various sectors of the agrifood system," said Kazuki Kitaoka, the FAO Director for the Office of Youth and Women. "We are excited to partner with the AGCO Agriculture Foundation in developing innovative approaches that offer knowledge and skills, equipping youth with the capacities they need to drive a positive transformation of our agrifood systems."
To foster inclusive and participatory ways of supporting skills enhancement of younger people, the project will focus on creating an evidence base for demand-driven skills, increasing access to knowledge and resources and empowering young people to become knowledge brokers who can further share the lessons gained from the program within their farming and entrepreneurial communities.
