Youth Empowerment Statement

At NWAFASA, we recognize that the future of agriculture lies in the hands of the youth. We are committed to empowering young people to become innovators, leaders, and changemakers in the agricultural sector.

We believe that with the right support, young farmers can drive food security, economic growth, and rural development — not just in the North West Province, but across South Africa.

We empower youth by:

• Providing access to land, resources, and tools for starting and growing agribusinesses
• Delivering training and mentorship in modern farming, agro-processing, and agripreneurship
• Supporting youth-led cooperatives and startups with technical and financial guidance
• Promoting the use of technology and climate-smart agriculture
• Creating platforms for youth participation in leadership and decision-making

We don’t just prepare young people for agriculture — we prepare agriculture for young people.

At NWAFASA, youth are not just beneficiaries of change — they are drivers of transformation. We are building a new generation of African farmers who are bold, skilled, and ready to lead.
