South Africa’s Food Future Needs Young Leaders

Without investing in youth skills and entrepreneurship, South Africa risks losing a generation of innovators who could transform our food systems.”

  • When young people are shut out of agriculture, we lose more than potential farmers — we lose the chance to restore dignity, purpose, and opportunity in communities that have been relegated from the means of food production for generations.

  • The aging agricultural workforce is causing a rapid loss of vital skills, putting the future of our food security at risk.

  • Africa is growing fast, but our farms are not. It’s time to refresh agriculture so it can feed our people, sustain our communities, and secure our future.
