| dc.description | Sixty-five percent of the population in the least developed countries lives in rural settings and largely depends on agriculture to earn a living. Rural areas are crucial for creating a sustainable future, yet face rapid population growth, increasing youth unemployment, food insecurity and the impacts of climate change which hinder their potential to contribute to a just and green transition. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of decent and sustainable employment opportunities for rural communities. FAO works to provide soft and sector-specific training to increase the employability of rural youth, while trying to identify the most promising value chains for green development which include sustainable poultry production, insect rearing for livestock and fish feed, organic horticulture, forestry and apiculture. | |
