To Introduce and mainatain sustainable agricultural practice especially in the under developed countries and specifically Sub Sahara Africa (SSA), the need to deploy simple technology based practice in agriculture is necessary. Because there are issues with involving youth in agriculture, simply because youth due to globalisation feel the current practice is not apealing to them. The current agricultural practice is so rudiment and uncivilised approach to farming thereby making farming discouraging to the youth.

Fast deployable technologies like drip irrigation system, hydroponics, the use of UAV, Simple mechanised farm tools, improved seed varieties, solar and wind energy, food processing machines for adding value, water conservation techniques, Smart marketing systems need to be promoted to get youth into sustainable Agriculture system that is profitable and ensure sustainability.
