“…The traditional thought of small farmers is inevitably impacted by industrial culture. The relevant empirical research also shows that farmers' professional confidence and love for agriculture can well reflect farmers' professional willingness [54][55][56][57][58]. For those who think that farming is difficult, growing grain is a low-level industry, and it is not very comfortable to return to the countryside to farm.…”

A growing number of young Chinese farmers are abandoning agriculture. This research aimed to identify ways to stimulate enthusiasm among young people for choosing careers in agriculture and to promote the professionalization of young part-time farmers. This study surveyed 310 young part-time farmers in Chongqing City and Tianjin City. We constructed the Two-Way Push–Pull (TWPP) model to assess the willingness of young part-time farmers to work professionally in agriculture. The results show that agricultural policy support, hometown attachment, agricultural income, and agricultural industrialization significantly influence young part-time farmers’ willingness to pursue professional farming careers. However, risks of farming, children’s education, urban housing, and non-farm income negatively impact their willingness. The government must strengthen policy support’s influence on their willingness to motivate young part-time farmers to become professional farmers. This could include reducing farming risks, advancing agricultural industrialization, improving farmers’ professional status and reputation, and increasing the quality of rural public services.

“…Over the last four years, the agriculture sector's significance in the Indonesian economy has fallen, as has agriculture's value added (Girdziute, 2022). This was driven by the rural population decline: on average, 1 million individuals left rural areas for metropolitan areas each year.…”

“…The decreasing population in rural areas is affected not only by urbanization, but also by the growing size of farms. (Girdziute, et. Al., 2022) The ability of young rural people to access resources such as land, finance, and farming skills is one aspect that shapes their opportunity space.…”

Food security is urgently needed in 2050. Facing current conditions, the agricultural industry in Indonesia no longer appeals to the younger generation, and many farmers are elderly; the challenge of limited land, human resources, and falling farmer regeneration is a global one. This study investigates the desire of tertiary students in West Java, Indonesia, to pursue a profession in agriculture. The study's goal is to identify the elements influencing tertiary students' intentions to contribute or pursue a profession in agriculture, the correlation between those factors, and the things that may boost tertiary students' desire in continuing their career in agriculture. The study will look at the effects of a student's income, land availability and ownership, the student's parents' background in a specific demographic, and the influence of contemporary agricultural technology and data. Using quantitative research design and ordinal logistic regression analysis method, the study found that the father's education, willingness lives in the village, and the data-driven agriculture variable influenced tertiary students' interest in the agricultural industry. Keywords: Agricultural sector, food security, intention, technology usage, tertiary students.

“…Additionally, engaging and involving rural youth in agriculture is crucial for its continued vitality and expansion. However, the sector needs help attracting and retaining young individuals who often opt for urban careers due to perceived challenges and a lack of prestige associated with farming (Girdziute et al, 2022). Recognising the transformative potential of rural youth in agricultural development and food security, concerted efforts must be directed toward making the industry an appealing and economically promising frontier.…”

This study addresses these challenges by exploring the issues faced by the agriculture industry, particularly the need for marketing information, difficulties in reaching potential purchasers, and the need for effective marketing strategies. However, effectively managing this sector's complex supply and demand dynamics presents substantial challenges. The primary objective of this research is to develop a user-friendly agriculture portal called a Demand and Supply (D&S) Portal that empowers small-scale farmers to make informed decisions about marketing their products. The Agile methodology guides the development of this portal, ensuring flexibility, adaptability, and iterative development. The research process incorporates rigorous literature reviews and problem recognition as foundational steps before system development. The evaluation of the portal indicates high user satisfaction. Respondents found the portal's features for managing and monitoring agricultural product demand and supply straightforward and valuable. The portal's usability and efficiency were well-received, with users expressing their intention to recommend it to others. It serves as a reference model for developers and researchers in the agricultural sector, offering valuable insights into demand and supply management. Future enhancements include optimising the portal for mobile use, incorporating product images and pricing information, and enhancing security features. The D&S Agri Portal is a promising tool for empowering small-scale farmers and improving the efficiency of agricultural transactions. Continuous user feedback and technological adaptations will enhance its usability and effectiveness in facilitating agricultural demand and supply management. This research contributes to understanding the agriculture industry's challenges and the potential solutions to address them. It also highlights the importance of empowering small-scale rural farmers through effective marketing platforms.
