Why Youth should embark on Agriculture

A lot of evidence shows us that agriculture provides youth a viable way to harvest success and grow a sustainable future. In other words, I believe youth can, and should, choose agriculture. Some of the reasons are:

In order, to enable the economy develop. There is a good attitude towards agriculture which is, increasing the growth of the economy. Young educated one's should have the decided to become farmers, acquire land, grow maize professionally for trade, and manage their enterprises in order to earn a living.
