SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES BY Meshach Owolabi

By Unknown - Saturday, June 24, 2017

Roughly 122 million young people can enter the work or force between 2010 and 2020,with slightly a lot of than 1/2 them from rural areas,putting immense pressure on each agriculture and non-farm sectors to generate employment opportunities. However, even underneath extremely favorable conditions, Fine et al. (2012) estimate that non-farm sector scan generate solely 70 million wage jobs over this same period,mainly in producing, retailing, welcome, and government.This means that farming are going to be called upon to supply profitable

employment for a minimum of a third of Africa’s young proletariat. However, for agriculture to effectively fulfill this mandate, adolescents growing up in densely inhabited areas will require access to farm technologies that are radically more productive and profitable, as well as access to new land.

More stories after the cut........
Hence, even as Africa becomes progressively urbanized, smallholder agriculture will remain fundamental for absorbing much of Africa’s burgeoning young labor force into gainful employment (Losch, 2012). A related consequence of Africa’s demographic ‘‘youth bulge’’ is
that intergenerational subdivision of land will constrain the options of rural youth entering the
labor force. Intergenerational and inter-sibling conflicts may intensify further because rural parents in their 50s and 60s may not yet be ready or able to ‘‘retire’’and bequeath their land assets to their children, or otherwise subdividetheir land. Evidence from Northern Tanzania shows that as land increases in value due to emerging commercial interests, fathers are less willing to provide land to their kids, that any will increase the prevalence of intergenerational conflict. One objective of this special issue Scarcity amidst abundance: the nexus of land and labor in rural Africa was to higher perceive the nexus between natural resources and demographic forces, including birth and migration rates, and historical settlement patterns. Labor was basically ‘‘pulled’’ out of rural areas into urban-based employment. There still remains great potential for such processes to unfold in continent (with appropriate policies and incentives), and in some countries, like African country, these processes are already somewhat advanced.

Successful entrepreneurs in farming can progressively need access to masterful agricultural and promoting extension.

Currently estimated at 925 million, SSA’s population is forecast to reach 1.2 billion in 2025 and 2 billion in 2050.
By 2050, one in five people in the world will live in SSA, by 2100 one in three –up from one in 7.6 currently –according to forecasts by the UN (Medium-fertility variant).
SSA has vast amounts of uncultivated arable land: 200 million hectares, close to half of global availability
This means that in Africa, unlike many other parts of the world, there is room fo
r agriculture to expand. The African countries with the most significant amounts of uncultivated cropland are displayed in chart Bringing additional land into production can be challenging. These area unitas tend to have terribly low population densities however some of them are placed hours away from the next town and can want major infrastructure development to possess easy accessibility to markets.There is increasing capitalist interest in SSA on the full food offer chain. Challenges stay in terms of infrastructure.

There are various ways to which one can promote and engage young people in sustainable land management. Agriculture happens to be one of the continents biggest economic sectors generating broad economic development and providing much of the population with food, this poses a serious threat to the future of farming and to meeting the demands of a rapidly growing urban population. Growing youth unemployment, ageing farmers and declining crop yields under traditional farming systems mean engaging youth in agriculture should be a priority. Achieving through agriculture is listed below:

1. Link social media to agriculture

2. Strengthen higher education through agriculture

3. Improve agriculture image. Also, Encouraging young people to speak is another way to engage young people in sustainable land management especially given them choice topics to talk on. If we are to enable youth to transform agriculture by using lands available then the barriers to their engagement, such as access to land and finance, need to be addressed. National policies on farming and food security need to identify and address issues facing young people. As such youth need to become part of policy discussions at the local and national levels, whether as part of local development meetings, advisory groups or on boards or committees.

Another point is the Greater use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)Not only can ICT be used to educate and train those unable to attend higher education institutions but it can be used as a tool to help young people spread knowledge, build networks, and find employment. Catering to a technologically savvy generation will require technological solutions. Such technologies can also reduce the costs of business transactions, increasing agriculture’s profitability.
