Synopsis (short abstract) This booklet introduces the bioeconomy topic and its growing relevance also for youth. Global political and economic development agendas are placing more focus on developing and growing the bioeconomy to support the transformation to sustainable bio-based industries. Based on real cases of youth entrepreneurs in the bioeconomy from four different continents, the information product is designed to motivate youth to engage actively in the bioeconomy. It identifies success factors and explains how these factors enabled youth to set up and operate their businesses. The concluding chapter provides some guidance to decision-makers on how this can be supported. An attempt is made to give youth a voice and highlight their recommendations to policymakers.

Youth Inspiring Youth in Agriculture Initiative 2022

Also available in:

No results found.

Since 2015, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been implementing a global project titled Integrated Country Approach for Boosting Decent Jobs for Youth under the Agrifood System (ICA). The project aims to enhance decent jobs through the economic and social empowerment of rural youth by enhancing the enabling environment for youth agripreneurship. FAO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), launched the Youth Inspiring Youth in Agriculture Initiative (YIYA) in 2017. YIYA is a nationwide competition aimed at promoting youth employment in the agricultural sector by recognizing and supporting young agripreneurs, that are role models to their peers and are willing to work with and support other youth through knowledge-sharing, capacity building, and mentorship. The first cohort of youth champions (25), selected and awarded in 2017, received cash, technical training in different value chains, opportunities to exhibit their enterprises nationally and internationally, and participated in youth-focused policy dialogues on employment in agriculture. Based on the success of Round one of the YIYA initiative, FAO, MAAIF and partners embarked on a process to scale up the initiative into a national youth agripreneurs mentorship programme, to attract and inspire more young people to engage in the agriculture sector countrywide. In 2021, over 270 youth champions were selected from over 1 400 applications and 35 national youth champions were recognized and awarded with equipment, assets like animals, inputs and all of them have gained visibility and will further be supported to access opportunities.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of key challenges and barriers to achieving greater youth inclusion in the bioeconomy. The analysis covers key factors (push/pull factors) that impact youth employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, such as education, vocational training, skills building, technology and business development. It also underscores the significance of considering economic development opportunities, rural–urban dynamics, and sustainable resource management when implementing policies. The study assesses the youth inclusiveness of current bioeconomy strategies and related policies and identifies six policy goals and how they need to be addressed for greater youth inclusion. Additionally, the report assesses specific youth employment opportunities and challenges in different sectors of the bioeconomy and provides a specific set of recommendations to support youth participation in the bioeconomy. Finally, the report provides generic recommendations for better youth inclusion and support in the bioeconomy. Overall, the report concludes that the bioeconomy offers considerable opportunities and is attractive to youth, but more needs to be done to support youth entrepreneurship and employment in the sector.

The aim of this publication is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of agricultural financing for youth in developing and emerging countries, underlining the trends, core challenges, opportunities, innovative solutions and initiatives associated with this undertaking. The study makes use of the latest and most relevant literature on youth finance, while also relying extensively on insights and case studies that have emerged during the development of a series of FAO country-level assessments on the state of agricultural finance for youth. Building on the analysis of this data and experience, the study aims to provide a range of recommendations and lessons learned that can be leveraged by interested stakeholders to develop new modalities to promote youth access to agricultural finance, in their own specific contexts.
