Nowadays not many young people chose to work in the farming industry? Why do you think that is? How could young people be encouraged to work in this industry?
Of late, the young have been becoming disinclined from working in agriculture due to various reasons, but this imbroglio can be resolved by embracing prudent policies, and tools, such as inducements, appropriate education, and integrating technology in this industry.
To begin with, working in farming industry is most taxing task than working in other fields because this requires extreme devotion and physical efforts, and also mandates multitasking: initially one needs to devote colossal time towards the research to decide which crops will be suitable to grow, then ensure proper watering and fertilizer administration, and guarding the crop, whereas other domains simply need minimal effort but promise rich returns, thereby dissuading youngsters from partaking in this occupation.
On top of that, this activity requires one to invest a huge chunk of money initially, but still remain vulnerable to natural calamities such as droughts and floods, which can spoil the whole crop, money and effort. However, the youth today seeks stability rendered by other professions, and thus, is becoming averse to working in such a volatile domain.
Having said that, there are some judicious methods that can be adopted to raise the appeal of this industry: compulsory education about modern agricultural practices and their importance will enlighten young ones about the significance of this occupation, and make them comprehend it better. Likewise, providing financial support, and benefits like crop insurance, to those working in this industry will definitely encourage the young to pursue their career in this realm.
To conclude, although the farming sector is not favored by the young due to numerous reasons, their interest can be cultivated in this field by educating about its importance and rendering humongous benefits like financial support, insurance to cover the loss during the natural calamities.
