Empowering young African farmers through advocacy

The purpose of AgriYouth Without Borders is to advocate for equal youth participation and representation in agriculture and rural development. It focuses on issues like climate change, land access, funding, market access, infrastructure, technology adoption, policy, labor shortages, social and cultural barriers, and support services. By focusing on these areas, AgriYouth without Borders aims to empower young people to play a leading role in agricultural development and rural progress.

Individuals between the ages of 16-40 can become members of the council. Those above 40 are welcome to join, yet the benefits and contributions of those individuals will differ to that of young people.

Send us and email with your details and tell us a bit about your status and that of your business if applicable and we may take it from there.
