Young People

The global population is projected to rise from its present level of 7 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050. An estimated 1 billion people already are going hungry. Today’s generation of young people is the largest in history. However, young rural people are increasingly disillusioned about working in the agricultural sector, which in many countries is stagnant and unproductive. The Share Fair sessions will aim to address the many challenges facing us such as:

  • who is going to feed this growing world population
  • how can we make agriculture enticing and attractive to avoid an outmigration of young people to urban areas
  • partnering with young farmers to create a new cadre of rural entrepreneurs
