During the course of our Young People, Food and Agriculture conference, which is scheduled to take place March 19-21, we are asking a series of questions on what role young people in Africa play in agriculture.

Results from the poll

Question 1: young people in Africa should play a central role in formulating agricultural policy (strongly agree / agree / not sure / disagree / strongly disagree).

You can also discuss this question on our blog.

About the conference

The Young People, Farming and Food conference brings together researchers from around Africa and beyond to discuss the future of youth and the agrifood sector.

It will examine:

• How young people engage with the agri-food sector in Africa
• Changes in the agri-food sector and what this means for young people
• The implications for young people of alternative policy approaches in the sector.
