Scholarship / How your choice of degree will empower you to pursue a career that addresses issues in your country? [3]
QN. We want to ensure that your studies at this University benefit you and your community in the future. Tell us how your choice of degree will empower you to pursue a career that addresses any issues in your country.
Food in-security remains an essentially rural phenomenon. Despite rapid urbanisation, the population in rural areas has also continued to increase in absolute terms. A special feature of African agriculture in comparison to the rest of the world is that the sector has continued to absorb a large proportion of the working population, and will have to continue doing so, since a very large number of we young people will be entering the labour market.
By 2025, it is estimated that 330 million young Africans will have entered the labour market, due to limited opportunities for finding jobs in cities. Having this in mind, I choose BSc Agricultural Science (Global Agriculture & Food Security) in order to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of agri-food systems and hence tackling the challenges of global population growth, urbanisation, food and environmental security as well as diet and health problems within my community.
