ABSTRACT

Young people in rural agriculture suffer precarious conditions and other persisting social-cultural challenges. By employing a Focus Group Discussion and semi-structure interview with young people participating in the leadership and entrepreneurship training for cassava production in one of the cassava central planting villages in Indonesia, the present study unfolds some critical conditions that hinder and put their innovative organic fertilizer products under more pressures – namely, prolonged drought, intergenerational conflicts, economic sources scarcity, and access to Internet connections.
