Project
V4 Rural Development Experience for Sustainable Growth
The master trainer will conduct a training for Young Farmers' Centers (YFC) trainers (RDFG staff). YFCs are supported by RDFG Farmer Field School expert staff, and serve to equip students with knowledge on modern agricultural methodologies and give them an opportunity to apply these skills at demonstration plots established on their schools’ land. This aims to enable youth to recognize rural agriculture as a viable livelihood option and contribute to reduction of labor migration of youth to the cities, where they have to take on any available jobs, often to the detriment of their health and safety. The materials produced will remain in the YFCs and support further generations of young farmer entrepreneurs.
