Abstract
The paper examines youth participation in Agriculture in Delta State. Undermining the avalanche of opportunities for youth empowerment through agriculture, participation of youths have been low as a result of several interacting factors such as poor career guidance, inadequate land and funds amongst others. The Delta State government in a bid of address these problems put in place well articulated youth in Agriculture programmes such as Youth Empowerment through Agriculture Programme (YETA), Live-on and Own a Farm Programme (LOAF) and the Delta State Communal Farm Programme amongst others. Some of these programmes did not make the desired impact because the number of youths recruited to participate were too few, political patronage was a consideration for involvement of youths, the facilities granted to the youths after training were not effectively utilized and there was poor monitoring and evaluation of the youths who participated in the programmes. In view of the foregoing, the paper recommends a viable model for enhancing youth participation in agriculture to be known as the INTEGRATED YOUTH TO LAND AGRICULTURAL MODEL to enhance the participation of a larger number of youths in agriculture with emphasis on the local communities/wards in each local government area without emphasis to political patronage, monitoring and evaluation of the youths after training in order to provide additional support by government in order to be able to provide additional support for sustenance of youth participation in Agriculture.
