Other crucial challenges must also be addressed, such as the interlinkages embodied by the 2030 Agenda including poverty reduction; social inclusion; health care; biodiversity conservation; and climate change mitigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through youth education, engagement, innovation and entrepreneurial solutions, this year\u2019s International Youth Day aims to provide a platform for young people to continue the momentum and leverage on the diverse opportunities in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
