🌱 Happy International Youth Day! #InternationalYouthDay is celebrated annually on Aug 12 and the theme for this year is 'From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development.' The youths of today are often considered as ‘digital natives,’ using technology as drivers for change and solution-seeking. As we face global challenges in #foodsecurity and #sustainabledevelopment, the role of youths in shaping the future of agriculture has never been more critical. Innovation and technology in agriculture is seen as one way to attract these digital natives into the sector, empowering the next generation of change-makers. #youthinagriculture #aginnovation #agtech #sustainableagriculture #farming #agriculture #plantscience

📆 Today marks the 57th #ASEANDay. The theme for this year ‘Connected & Resilient Community’ as it focuses on historical milestones, future aspirations and resilient economies. 👨🏻🌾🌾Agriculture plays a vital role in ASEAN, accounting for over 25% of GDP in some member states and sustaining livelihoods of millions. Unfortunately, the sector faces significant challenges from climate change and resource pressures. Extreme weather events between 2008 and 2018 caused production losses of around USD21 billion in the region. Additionally, Southeast Asia has a low amount of agricultural land per person, around 0.35ha per person, significantly lower than the global average of 0.6ha. Agricultural innovations present new avenues for improving productivity, adapting to a new climate reality and achieving food security for the region. 📌 To learn about some of CropLife Asia's work in ASEAN, read here: ➡ Report on ASEAN Food Systems Sustainability: https://lnkd.in/gmcG-nDE ➡ Sustainable Pesticide Management Framework Annual Report 2023: https://lnkd.in/gd8_MRgv #foodsecurity #ASEAN #aginnovation #sustainableagriculture #sustainablepesticidemanagementframework #agriculture #plantscience #farming #farmers
