Every year on 12th August, the World celebrates International Youth Day to appreciate the role youth play in different sectors of the economy.

In the agriculture sector, the youth have been at the forefront with new innovations solving food system challenges and creating additional employment opportunities for their peers despite existing challenges in the agriculture sector such as access to finance and land among others.
