IICD | Konrad Plechowski | Symposium on Youth Research and Development | April 2014 Waithood & restricted futures: using ICT to attract and retain youth to farming in Western Kenya Konrad Plechowski, MSc ‘Economic Development’ Sector Coordinator IICD

IICD | Konrad Plechowski | Symposium on Youth Research and Development | April 2014 The importance of attracting youth into farming “Growth of the agriculture sector in developing countries is one of the most effective mechanisms to alleviate poverty.” UN 2010 “Feeding a global population in 2050 will require a 70% increase in global food production. This will require that agriculture – particularly smallholder agriculture – plays a much more effective role.” IFAD 2011 “23% of the working poor are young people and the majority of these poor youth live in rural areas. Because of limited job prospects, many young people leave rural areas to seek employment opportunities elsewhere.” ILO 2012

IICD | Konrad Plechowski | Symposium on Youth Research and Development | April 2014 Smallholder farming – realities and associations Poor farm practices Low productivityLow incomeIntensive labour Lack of training Gender inequalities Financial risks Lack of access to the inputs, services, credit and markets Vulnerable to environmental and economic shocks Intense competition from sophisticated multinationals High transaction costs

IICD | Konrad Plechowski | Symposium on Youth Research and Development | April 2014 Potential of ICTs for activating young farmers “With the right conditions smallholders can be at the forefront of a transformation in the world’s agriculture” UNEP 2013 Propensity for taking higher entrepreneurial risks Capacity to innovate Affinity for using ICTs Access to markets and information regarding market price and demand Access to extension information, geo- data (weather, soil), and information regarding agricultural inputs Access to finance and financial information Management, administration and planning of the farmer organizations YouthICTs
