Youth Projects
Seeding Africa Planned Projects
We implement a practical and theoretical beginners Agribusiness initiative designed to develop agriculture students, beginner agribusinesses, and start-ups’ expertise, while also exposing them to the dynamics of the market, through education and leadership programs essential for achieving success in agriculture and agribusiness.
Why do we do this?
The program seeks to develop youth and student leadership, discuss challenges and opportunities in the corporate world of agribusiness, the value chain system, and farm management skills in beginning farmers or agriculturists, and, additionally, teach them to apply lessons and knowledge acquired to their businesses
How do we go about this?
By using the farmer’s field school method ( FFS ), which is a group-based learning process for achieving farmer’s empowerment, community development, and education of eco-friendly farming methods. Within that program, they will also receive knowledge on how to create, develop and pitch an agriculture-related business idea which includes market development and linkage as well as how to best maintain relations with sellers, buyers, and suppliers.
The expected duration of the training is 6 months. Below is one of our role models in West Africa
