4-H Nepal organized two national-level youth agro-entrepreneurship symposiums intending to encourage youth participation in agriculture, foster a network of young people, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among experts, farmers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers in the field of agriculture and agricultural entrepreneurship.

The symposiums successfully introduced the concept of youth entrepreneurship to policymakers, youth, government agencies, donor agencies, and students. These events initiated important discussions addressing the problems, issues, needs, challenges, and opportunities within the agriculture sector and agricultural entrepreneurship.

The symposiums served as effective platforms for highlighting key agriculture-related issues and reminding policymakers of the necessity of formulating appropriate policies to attract youth to agriculture. Additionally, dialogues on agriculture policy in the federal structure of Nepal were organized, bringing together policymakers, legal experts, members of the National Planning Commission (NPC), government agencies, the donor community, and youth to discuss the types of agriculture-related policies within the country’s federal framework.
