    "content": "County governments probably need to ensure that they bring the youth on board by raising awareness about the importance of agriculture. Apart from awareness, they should also give them opportunity to get tenders, so that they can be motivated to get into agriculture. Agriculture is closely related to food security. If the youth participate in enhancing food security, then our country will be free from hunger. Even colleges and universities should embrace agriculture strongly by offering courses that will make the youth go back to their societies and get into agriculture. When people take courses, they ask themselves what the value is. Therefore, there is need to create employment for the youth who finish courses in agriculture to entice others to get into agriculture because agriculture is important. One of the most important aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to ensure that there is food and no citizen faces hunger. Mr Speaker, Sir, there are many incentives that the youth can be given. For instance, being exempted from tax can motivate them to venture into agriculture. That could be one of the ways of ensuring that we engage our youth productively."
