Agroforestry and Youth

The document argues that agroforestry can mitigate the vulnerabilities faced by young rural farmers in sub-Saharan Africa—including unemployment, food insecurity, and climate change—by creating resilient livelihood opportunities and increasing youth participation in food system decision-making.

• Young smallholder farmers are especially vulnerable to global crises such as climate change, unemployment, and hunger because they frequently lack capital, networks, and long-term access to land, which often forces them to migrate to urban areas.
• Agroforestry, which integrates crops, pasture, and trees, is presented as a tool to address the specific challenges of young farmers and can facilitate their involvement in rural development and food system management.
