The PS shares practical insights on how young people can tap into agriculture through technology, logistics, agribusiness, and modern farming practices.He also breaks down real income potential, including how poultry farming alone can generate millions monthly, and why mindset shift is the biggest barrier holding youth back from entering agriculture.The conversation further explores Uganda’s position in global food security, fisheries potential, export opportunities, and the role of partnerships and government programs like PDM and Emyooga in transforming livelihoods.This is not just a conversation about farming, it’s about wealth creation, innovation, and building a future-proof economy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------Music by Luke Bergs:▶️Youtube: https://bit.ly/3ozy6uk​▶️Spotify: https://spoti.fi/37O7TkS▶️Soundcloud: https://bit.ly/37JG9hB▶️Facebook: https://bit.ly/2JOvnhT▶️Instragram: https://bit.ly/2JKGqsy------------------------------------------------------------------------------▶️Free Download: https://hypeddit.com/track/31hrng------------------------------------------------------------------------------
