All farmers are old.

It’s true that most farmers are seniors and that the industry is experiencing an ageing crisis. It’s true that there is a danger of food shortage because of a lack of farmers, as well as because of a lot of other factors such as lack of land and water. But it doesn’t mean that all farmers are old. While it’s important to highlight the need for young farmers, it’s equally important to talk about the slowly growing number of young people interested in tilling the land. It’s important to recognize their efforts so they don’t get discouraged and to offer them industry and government support to make sure they don’t leave this highly uncertain industry for a more stable source of income.
