Providing economic opportunities for youth in agriculture is essential to securing the future of agriculture, addressing poverty, unemployment, and inequality in our country. However, barriers limit youth participation in agriculture and the broader food system. Existing agricultural interventions are production-centric and provide low-income earnings and inadequate social protection. Yet, agriculture is a sector that can drive socio-economic transformation and allow for broader participation of marginalized groups, women, and youth, in the economy. Millennial Growers is a platform that creates supportive initiatives that promote capacity building, stakeholder investment, and creating innovative spaces in agriculture in a way that takes into account youth aspirations are part of the solutions for promoting youth participation in agriculture are needed. our overall goal is to contribute to the development of resilient production, sustainable and diversified households activities both on-farm and off-farm for livelihoods, thus strengthening small scale youth famers’ capacity to face production and market challenges without falling back into poverty and distress
