Deadline: 30th June,2012.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is working on a publication that aims at providing a set of solutions to overcome core challenges that rural youth typically face when they (want to) engage in agriculture as a sustainable business, providing them with decent employment. This publication addresses young leaders; young producers; producers’ organizations; youth programme formulators, youth development practitioners and decision-makers influencing youth programme design.
The publication will flag youth-specific solutions which have proved to help overcome a specific challenge. These solutions can take the form of approaches; methods, tools, practices etc. from all over the world and preference will be given to those that have not yet been documented or that have not been shared much.
We very much count on your participation and in order to collect your solutions in an organized manner, we would be very grateful if you could fill out our online format by May 18 (Extended to 30th June) following the instructions below:

Your responses will be automatically recorded in our database and processed by our team according to pre-defined selection criteria. We are looking for youth-specific solutions that are well documented and that are preferably replicable in other locations.
