There is a lot of concern about engaging youth in agriculture, in many ways, young people are not very much interested in continuing in agriculture because they don’t see much prospect in the future of agriculture, they don’t see it is as an active profession in the long-run, so many of the smallholder farmers are quite aged. ICTs could provide new opportunity for making agriculture more interesting for young people. CTA has a very strong programme of supporting youth to get into value chains. One of the ways to do that is to train them and given them opportunities to access ICTs so that they can engage in value chains.
