In the Philippines, the average age of farmers is 57. This is alarming because as an agricultural country, who will now produce our food in the near future? The youths must be enticed to venture into agriculture. But this is easier said than done. There is a need to change their perspective about agriculture. They have to be convinced that there is money in agriculture. To achieve this, they have to know other young farmers who succeeded in farming. These two young, dynamic and promising youths, graduates of Farm Business School have bravely ventured into agribusiness. They are the owners of Mushroom City, a flourishing business venture.
