| 520 | _aResearch indicates the decreasing involvement of young generations in agriculture. Researchers have put forward as well the external factors that precede the low or decreasing participation of young people in farming. This qualitative and quantitative case study was designed to explore with a sample of young people in rural areas the internal factors or driving forces that might divert young people's interest away from farming; whether young people's current (decreasing) participation on farming is a reflection of their actual willingness or interest to get involved in agriculture. The rationale for this study is based on the need to better inform policy to tackle the issue of aging farmers. In order to enhance the installation of new young farmer, we need to understand whether young people do not want to do farming due to a generational shift on their preferences, or they want but are not able to due to their perception on agriculture and the current constraints it involves. The selected sample was composed of a total of 86 young people: 26 respondents from Hua Phai (village 1),40 respondents from Bang Rung Rot (village 2) and 20 respondents from Pho Yen (Village 3). All villages are within Bang Sang district in Prachinburi Province, Thailand. The primary data-collection method was in-depth interviews. Secondary data was gathered from Bang Sang Registration District Office. The data were coded and organized according to the research question. Analysis and interpretation of findings were organized by the three objectives of the research study: a)Young people's perception on farming problems (chapter 5) b)The conditions under which young people would re/consider to get involved in agriculture (chapter 6) c)To review the incentive policies for young farmers in response to the decreasing involvement of young generations in agriculture (chapter 7) The main finding of this research is that, despite the low involvement of young generations in agriculture young people in fact, would like to become farmers, they have not lost interest. It is due to the current rural conditions that farming is not viewed as an economically reliable occupation. Owing to this demeaning conditions and perception of young people of farming that from early ages they steer their professional future towards the alternatives to agriculture they consider feasible, mostly factories (an increasing sector in the area). It is at this point that when young people consider the option to do farming as income- generating activity, they perceive knowledge as their turning point to become successful farmers. Due to current rural trends of high migration of young people, Thai rural settlements may go through a profound transformation. Rural villages where young people are still lured by agriculture as economic activity may preserve the viability of small farmers and thus, a self- reliance development path. On the other hand, rural villages where young people do not perceive farming as an economically reliable activity may become a place of residence but may not remain a place of work. Rural settlements may become economically reliable on migration towards the industrial sector and urban areas; hence remittance may stand as a key source of incomes for rural vilIagers. | ||
