MANILA: Making agriculture “cool” for the youth to get involved in the industry will be key to the country’s food security, Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Brian Raymund Yamsuan said on Thursday (Sept 26).
In a statement at the 2024 Sustainable Agriculture Forum organised by the European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ECCP), Yamsuan said making agriculture’s related industries cool would entail the use of social media to inform young people that agriculture and fisheries are not focused solely on tedious tasks such as planting and fishing.
