The Agriculture and Farmers Federation of Myanmar (AFFM) saw low participation of youth in agribusiness, which is attributed to the limited access to key resources, such as land, start-up capital, business mentors, and increasing number of youth moving from rural to urban areas as well as to other countries to find jobs and earn better salary.

To find a solution to this problem, AFFM started to define a specific strategy aimed to build up the innovative skills of the youth and to involve more young farmers through creative ideas for improved sustainability and a safe modern agriculture sector. AFFM sent youth members to the Next Generation Agriculture School to help encourage the continued development of the agriculture sector through youth participation.
