ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

AYIAC aimed at addressing the challenges faced by African youth in the agricultural sector. This conference marks a significant collaboration between stakeholders in agriculture, youth empowerment organisations, and governmental bodies to create a platform for African youth to engage, learn, and contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture in Africa.
AYIAC aims to bring together young people from across Africa who are interested in agriculture and provide them with a platform to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and explore innovative solutions to the challenges facing the agricultural sector on the continent.
Africa boasts a vast potential in the agricultural sector, making it a critical driver of economic growth, poverty reduction, and food security. However, the sector faces various challenges, including an ageing farming population, limited access to modern agricultural practices and technologies, insufficient financing, and climate change. A holistic approach towards engaging, empowering, and equipping African youth in agriculture is crucial for sustainable agricultural development.
