Resumen
Descripción
While agriculture remains the largest employer in the world, it is a sector that is highly hazardous and often associated with working poverty and vulnerable employment. Agriculture is also the largest user of water and the number one driver of environmental degradation. However, there is enormous potential to turn this situation around and adopt agricultural practices that contribute to sustainability and improved livelihoods.
Green jobs can support this shift and provide innovative solutions to address many global issues such as rural poverty, unemployment, climate change, and food insecurity, lifting millions of workers out of poverty and promoting social inclusion. FAO promotes green jobs for youth in agrifood systems through education and training, innovative sustainable technologies, and policy support.
