Millennium Fellowship Project: Agri-Youths
Agri-youths is an initiative that seeks to empower youths with agricultural business
skills. It seek to teach youths how to leverage agriculture to create businesses for
profitability. They will be learning to create value-added agricultural products to
improve the usability of agricultural produce and reduce waste. Our goal is to reach
young who are passionate about agriculture and or are trying to build up a business
while in school. This will ensure long lasting impact that will shape their tomorrow and
that of the nation. With these skills, we can promote the growth of green-business, a
green and healthy nation and empowered and financially prosperous youths. I will be
partnering with an Agriculture-driven business(s) to achieve this.
