One way of encouraging youth enterprise and entrepreneurship in agriculture and related activities is to create spaces and opportunities for them to showcase their talents and endeavours. This could be facilitated by organising youth showcases at the growing number of regional gatherings such as the Pacific Arts Festival, Pacific Youth Festival, South Pacific Games and so forth. Not only could these events help showcase youth contributions to agricultural development but they could also become a focus for youth groups to produce food to cater for such large gatherings.
Initiative NSL 6 of the Pacific Youth Strategy 2010 calls for the organisation of regional youth trade shows to showcase the contributions of young people to economic development.
We would be grateful to hear from anyone who has been involved in such programmes or to receive suggestions on showcasing youth activities. Please do share your ideas.
