PAST PROGRAMMES

AFYIDEF proudly anchors the agricultural program “Youth Back to Farm,” a strategic initiative aimed at revitalizing youth interest in agriculture. Recognizing the vast potential of agriculture in addressing unemployment and food security challenges in Africa, this program encourages young people to view farming as a viable and profitable career option. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and access to modern farming technologies, participants learn sustainable agricultural practices, agro-business management, and innovative farming techniques. The program seeks to shift perceptions of farming from subsistence to agribusiness, empowering youths to create sustainable livelihoods and contribute to economic growth. “Youth Back to Farm” also fosters partnerships with governments and private sectors to ensure long-term support and market access for young farmers across Africa.
