We support young women and men in accessing the knowledge, resources, and opportunities they need to actively participate in agriculture, lead innovation, and contribute to inclusive and sustainable food systems.
Young people, especially young women often face barriers such as limited access to land and finance, restricted decision-making power, inadequate training, and limited support for agribusiness development. Gender norms and inequalities can further constrain participation and leadership opportunities. Meaningful engagement of both young women and men is essential to building a resilient, equitable, and future-ready agricultural sector.

Through research, PiLAF identifies gender-specific barriers and emerging opportunities for youth in agriculture. Our outreach initiatives connect young people with mentorship, resources, and networks that foster inclusion and collaboration. Training programs build technical, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills, empowering youth to innovate, advocate for equity, and drive sustainable agricultural transformation.

Why is youth involvement important in agriculture?
What barriers do young people face when trying to enter agriculture?

Many young people, particularly young women face limited access to land, finance, markets, and decision-making spaces. They may also encounter gender bias, inadequate training opportunities, and limited institutional support for agribusiness ventures. These barriers discourage participation and constrain innovation and inclusive growth in the sector.
