KSIxChange#29: Regeneration Challenges and Revitalization Efforts in the Agricultural Sector Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic​

The emergence of  the COVID-19 pandemic highlights food security issues around the world. Specific to developing countries, strengthening food security focuses on empowering small-scale agriculture, since the majority of agricultural land is still managed traditionally. This empowerment includes protecting the welfare of small farmers as a vulnerable group. Therefore, multi-sector discussion is needed to identify opportunities and challenges in order to empower farmers in an inclusive manner. One of the identified challenges is farmer regeneration.

Farmer regeneration can be assisted by innovative solutions, which includes the utilisation of appropriate technology. The younger generation are most familiar with the technology and have the potential to urge innovation and modernization in the agricultural sector, particularly in small to medium scale agriculture. In this case, food security could be pursued within the farmer sustainability empowerment framework through regeneration of farmers, providing resilience and competitiveness, especially during this pandemic.
