Abstract
There is so much recognition that food security is only determined by theavailability of land, technology, seeds, climate, and weather. However, a rapidly growing body of evidence suggests that farmer availability also has a vital role in meeting food security challenges.This article aims to discuss how far the availability of farmers and their regeneration is related to food security. This article also wants to reflect how do agricultural and rural policies affect young people in farming. This article finds that as education spreads, the civil service or other professional careers that young educated people aim for are increasing an unrealistic target. This fact sometimes leads to doubts about 'where does the rural educated person fit?' has caused the successor to leave, sell, or replace their agricultural land, leading to food security problems and prosperity and regional stability. This article also finds that the world's agriculture faces a looming generational succession crisis, which has recently been unnotified in research and policy discourse. In most countries, the farming population is aging. In many countries, large numbers of farmers appear to have no successor; even though rural youth unemployment rates are high, it is widely claimed that young people are not interested in farming. Policy and regulations only indirectly encourage young people to tend to be more oriented towards developing businesses in the industry. However, not many believe that industrialization is taking away agricultural land and eliminating the paradigm of guaranteeing food availability in the future. This article argues for targeted policy support to enable the availability of regulation on the development of young farmers to meet the challenges of food security. Therefore, this article clarifies that if sustainable agricultural futures are to be realized, and if young people will have a place in those futures, the food security problems and the support for young people face in establishing themselves as farmers have to be taken seriously in recent policy debates.
