Encouraging the Emergence of Young Farmers

ARSIP PRIBADI

When people hear of “Indonesian farmers”, they tend to think of someone poor, old and far from cool. Hence, the younger generation rarely wants to become farmers. Adhitya Herwin Dwiputra (27) tries to get young people to change that image by becoming a farmer.

Adhit started a campaign in the agricultural sector in 2016 through social media. He shared the problems faced by farmers and potential food needs in the future. For example, he gave an illustration that in 2035-2045, food demand will increase along with population growth.
