Call for participation in Youth, ICT and Agriculture Conference

Malawi is one of the least-developed countries in the world and most of its population which is largely comprised of youth lives on subsistence farming. The elimination of hunger is one of the UN's top priorities and a key part is the promotion of sustainable agriculture

Are you a youth leader with a vision in agricultural entrepreneurship for youth? Are you an ‪#‎ICTGeek‬ with innovative brains for ‪#‎AgriHackathon‬? Or whatever you are but with a passion for youth development and you believe ‪#‎Ag4Youth‬ is a way to go?
Join Farm Radio Trust, National Youth Council of Malawi and ‪#‎TimveniTV‬ for Youth, ICTs and Agriculture Conference on October 22, 2015 at Malawi Institute of Management as we open opportunities for representatives in the agricultural sector to showcase products and services that are available and can be utilized by the youth in agricultural productivity.
