YOUTH AGRIBUSINESS
Studies indicate that 80% of the current 2.3 million unemployed are young people aged between 15-34 years (World Bank ,2014). Unemployment coupled with constant climate change which leads to low food production has made life unbearable not only to young people but also to communities across the globe.
Developing countries and precisely Sub-Saharan Africa are grappling with impediments of poverty, hunger, gender inequality, unsustainable cities and communities
