Our latest open-access paper is out. Check it out here.
It points to potential gaps in policies & interventions targeting young people in African agriculture by investigating their diverse mobilities, aspirations & engagements in northern Ghana.
Our study challenges the prevalent assumption of African farmers’ movements from rural to rural areas, from rural to urban areas, and out of farming altogether, as we found evidence of young people migrating from urban to rural areas.
We also show that the intersection of generation, place and gender unevenly shaped young people’s movements to and away from rural areas, along with the broad patterns of their involvement with farming.
Thanks to the Hungry Cities Partnership for the open-access outlet. Particularly, thanks to Sujata Ramachandran for her editorial excellence & my co-author Prof Bruce Frayne for his expertise. And as always, the biggest thank you goes to the young farmers and others who participated and steered the research.
