    Youth is often the time when a person starts to dream of the future, think of the path to take and boldly and aggressively set his/her life in motion. In many rural villages, to be a farmer is not part of this dreamt future .

What will then be the future of agriculture and food without young farmers? No farmer, no food. No food, no life.

This difference remains highly significant in case of rented in plots.
