Descripción
There are more young people on our planet today than ever before. The exceptionally high number of youth represents an enormous opportunity for economic growth and for the rejuvenation of agrifood systems. However, poor access to land and other natural resources, infrastructure, finance, technology, knowledge and support services, together with low remunerations, turn youth away from agrifood systems. Youth face higher unemployment rates than adults and are often overrepresented among the most vulnerable categories of workers. Addressing their needs is key to harness their full contribution to agrifood systems development.
Since 2011, FAO has been implementing the Integrated Country Approach (ICA) programme to assist countries in developing inclusive agrifood policies, strategies and programmes for the promotion of youth engagement and employment in agrifood systems.
