Young People, Farming & Food: The Future of the Agrifood Sector in Africa

The conference will critically examine, from both research and policy perspectives:

• Dominant and alternative framings and narratives, and recent empirical data, relating to how young people engage with the agrifood sector in Africa (as producers, entrepreneurs, employees, consumers and citizens)

• The dynamics of change in different components of the agrifood sector and the implications of these dynamics for young people

• The implications for young people of alternative policy approaches to the development of the agrifood sector.
