Dear all,
I can share my experience with how I started to get involved in farming.
Since my childhood, I was very interested in farming for small animals like chickens and goats so that I complete my parents for my needs like paying schools fees .However, my parents and neighbours discourage me and say that the only way to get to success is going to school being graduated and find a job. I agree with them but after my graduation at university, to find a job was not easy for me.
The only way to come out of the situation was turning back to the fatherland and starting to farm. However the challenge we the youth have nowadays is that we hurry up to get money whereas farming requires endurance (to be patient and persistent).
Actually I’m dealing with hen farming and start expending the production of eggs.so, neighbours, friends and relatives especially youth begin little by little to be inspired and changing their mind.
Question to the Experts
What advice would you give to youth, parents, neighbours and relatives who despise getting involved in farming, demonize the farming sector?
What should the governments do for the youth who are engaged in farming sector?
