The unexplored potential of youth as the next frontier and workforce is a
recent phenomenon in agricultural transformation in Africa.This calls
for innovative approaches to create connections from the available human
and technical competencies. Conservation agriculture and sustainable
development are emerging lucrative economic domains. But, what is youth
engagement in Africa? How do we engage youth in these economic domains?
What are the lessons to be learned when youths are engaged in
conservation agriculture and sustainable development? This book,
therefore, provides a unique way to create new ideas, images, knowledge,
and facts for use by farmers, students, youths, researchers,
practitioners and scientists.This book should help to stimulate critical
dialogue and resolve among readers on truly engaging youth in
agricultural transformation.In using Zimbabwe, as the anchorage, the
book, holistically scans the nation's landscape - food and nutrition
security, climate change and variability, and the post-2015 development
agenda, for examples of innovative thinking, leadership, and action, in
youth engagement, and thus, catapults local futuristic-thinking youths
to the global stage.
