My Zone asked the learners of Karibib Private School the importance of youth involvement in agriculture.

Charlize Izaaks

I think it is important for the youth to learn and grow their skills within agriculture. We see a shortage of youth who are involved in this sector and through campaigns we can show them the benefits of them growing and producing their own crops.

Nisla Alfons

Agriculture can increase the wealth of our country and young people and provides much needed produce to our people. It also provides a source of income to those who are more skilled to work with their hands.

Mazvitaishe Mudamburi

Namibia usually relies on different countries for its produce, wasting our own potential. Through agriculture, we teach the youth that they can create their own produce and don't need to depend on others to take care of them. It teaches them independence.

Tiaano Pieters

Youth involvement in agriculture is very important because it’s the basis of our wealth and it will assist our country to become more involved in the economic sphere. We can teach the youth from an early age how it works.

Brian Esau

Agriculture involvement amongst the community is vital. Awareness campaigns must be launched at school so that learners have a better grasp on it, so that it puts them in a better position to be involved in agriculture once they’re grown.

Anzelle Musinga

The aspect of agriculture in Namibia is very important, especially in schools, because some people are more handy and it can come off as a great advantage for them to teach them the basics of agriculture.
