Rural Youth needs and challenges are greater than ever. In most developing countries, youth represent more than 50 percent of the total rural population. Their potential impact is tremendous - youth, with adequate education, training and support, can become active partners contributing to food security through sustainable development. To find out about rural youth in general and, more specifically, FAO's Rural Youth Development Programme, its mandate and projects in the field, including country reports on programmes for young people in a wide range of developing countries, visit the web site.
