The labour force, especially young people, is very important for the development of the agricultural sector, particularly as agricultural production becomes more industrialized. New technologies and modern production tools are needed to ensure greater sustainability. Young farmers are likely to have better access to information from the media, radio, television and the Internet. Information on new technologies is also likely to be used by this group. Young people also have more chances to develop their capacities. The government and development projects have tended to promote an increase in agricultural productivity through the use of new technology. Established farmers have limited knowledge of innovation, however, and most of their farming systems are based on traditional practices.
