Food security might not be a priority for younger generations. (2)

[0t3p0t]

I'm curious, what made you ask this post? It's not that relevant TBH.

One of the reason why I ask everyone about this is that younger generations were interested more on the trend of technology I mean blockchain especially when we are to mention about NFT games, cryptocurrency investment and any other crypto related income generating activities they are more active in all this. Second they are more interested in information technology course in colleges than agriculture courses.

There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?

There are fewer people in agriculture because parents push their sons and daughters to enter university, study medicine, engineering, law, informational technologies and move to cities for a higher quality of life. At the same time, in developed countries it is getting expensive to buy land and start farming, some people don't have any other choice.
The young generation tries to adopt cryptocurrencies and invest in it because it is an innovation and innovations always pay well. When this market will become saturated, people will be forced to find a different niche. We also have to keep in mind that the science of agriculture is improving and it's getting easier to farm and have a good harvest with less involvement of mankind.

I think this will definitely increase hunger around the globe because if everyone focuses on cryptocurrency investment, who will then invest in farming? Nobody, meaning scarcity of food will be on trend because the supply of food is less than the demand, which means everyone will get rich while everything will be expensive, and those living in the low-income global region will end up suffering and even more severe complications, which is death. To me, it is very bad for the economy. 

The best idea is just simple. Even though I know younger people of this generation find it hard to work with energy, the present farming sector also deals with technology, so investing in both sites is not bad but will only increase your profit because after investing in cryptocurrency, the profit you gain instead of investing all that back in crypto again, you should share it in two places so that you can invest half in the farming sector and half in cryptocurrency since both of them are investments that will bring profit at the end of the day.

I do not agree with you.... people are drawn to activities that has to do with nature. Have you seen the documentaries about rooftop farming in urban cities? These people cultivate crops on top of buildings.

Yes, farming might change and it will become more mechanical (automated), but there will always be people with green fingers, willing to plant something to produce food and to profit from that.

He only said younger generations which I think I can agree with, because we know kids nowadays right?
We can usually see them with their iPads and cell phones on but for us who grow up in the 0's, 90's, and lower, we are into classical stuffs, anyway the OP is only talking about investing which means new generations can still be able to get interested on farming like they will plant it because it makes their soundings great.

When we have a money we can use it to secure a food, so farming to get a food can only be optional but if we lack in budget it can be a good idea, and another benefits here is we can get fresh foods anytime we like.

[el kaka22]

These type of investments are not mutually exclusive. You could have a farmer who also invests into NFT's and cryptos as well. I believe that the farming and ranching world will keep going for a long time, without a doubt and we should see them make a lot of money in the future.

Maybe not as ineffective as it used to be and some higher technology system will be figured out eventually, we do not have enough lands and farmers today, so we need to figure out a way to make more crops with less land and less farmers, but eventually it will get better. These same people could also take their profit from it, and buy bitcoin as well, just because that looks more promising, doesn't mean that they have to do only bitcoin investment.

Now many young people dream of becoming YouTubers or want to become skilled traders and want to invest in cryptocurrencies. So it is not only agricultural regeneration that is threatened, so are livestock farmers and other sectors, although the data is not yet significant. It must be acknowledged that food security is very important for a country to survive and every country must have food security, so it is very clear that food security has a big influence on a country's economy, especially for the younger generation.

However, unfortunately the younger generation is less interested in agriculture because one of the strong reasons is welfare. Many farmers should be prosperous, but in reality this is not the case. And the mindset of farmers who tend to be 'poor' makes the younger generation work more in the service sector and adopt cryptocurrency.

[ARTOIS]

The crypto sector is new for everyone, and we are at the beginning of the revolution in the world of digital currencies, and many changes will occur in the future.

As for the interest of young people and the rising generation in trading and investing in crypto, I believe that this is not a reason for neglecting the rest of the specializations, and it will not harm the economy, as we have previously neglected many sectors, such as health, in the time of Corona, and the only thing that negatively affects the economy is wars.

We cannot all be doctors, professors, or investors. There is a doctor, a pilot, a cleaning engineer, a farmer...

Perhaps it depends on a country and on area (rural vs urban). If agriculture isn't big in a country, I don't see why people would see it as a good investment option there. If people live in urban areas, I also think it's unlikely that they'd buy a farm or something like that. Also, let's not forget that crypto investment doesn't require a minimum, whereas buying a farm requires a certain amount of money, which can make it unaffordable to many young people.
But if it's a rural area and a country with rich land where you can actually grow lots of veggies, having your own little area and growing food can be a major source of income or just a direct source of food. That being said, younger generations do often try to move to bigger cities and make it in other economic sectors, even if they grew up in rural areas.

Not all, but for sure the majority, because younger generations are more exposed to tech, meaning in the online world they are always on their gadgets, and they know how high risk and high reward crypto is, and they are just thinking that they can earn it at their own comfort in their homes. But there are young people who are into farming because they grow with it like their parents taught them, meaning they want to do it as well but  with the advancement of technology, younger people want it more than doing the dirty work.

The accessibility and convenience of online platforms make it tempting for young individuals to explore the opportunities from the comfort of their homes, especially given the potential for significant financial gains. But there are still young people who are deeply connected to traditional occupations like farming, often stemming from family legacies and cultural ties. These individuals may have been raised in farming communities and have a strong affinity for agricultural practices passed down through generations.

There remains a segment of the younger generation that values the physical labor and connection to the land inherent in farming, while advancements in technology have indeed revolutionized various industries, including agriculture. Both paths offer unique opportunities and challenges, and the choice between them often reflects individual interests, values, and circumstances. As society continues to evolve, the world needs to respect the diverse career paths and aspirations of the younger generation.

I don't think it will effect the economy. The younger generation is not only focused on investments like crypto. There are many young people who are exposed to technology and are dedicated to inventing and developing new technologies and machines. These innovations are aimed at making it simpler and easier for humans to do heavy work, such as farming and any food-related productions.

Well, nothing's bad if they know what they are doing. Indeed other industries are as well profitable but this is their preference, assuming that it is. Eitherway, risk will be present no matter what investment you engage yourself with. Agriculture and food industries are a bit saturated at this point and introducing your own brand is way difficult than ever, so I cannot blame the young ones if they will choose what's new as long as it will be beneficial for them. Younger gens in the first place are the ones following technological advancements which makes it not surprising. Ore industries also, are now considering blockchain adoption which is a good thing to consider if you're looking forward with long term progress.

Valid point as well. Culture and environment highly affects the interest and choices of the younger gens. It also speaks for appropriation such that if you are in a country or area that agriculture is most of the time, the source of living, then kids at a young age would more likely engage with the same industry. Perhaps with OPs country, technological advancements are more evident. As long as it shows progressive development no matter what industry it is, I'd say things are still fine for the new ones. What matters is the ct of engaging with a field of their interest.

With the advent of cryptocurrency in the world in general and in the economic sphere in particular, nothing much will change. Cryptocurrency does not create material wealth, does not increase the volume of manufactured products and food products. Cryptocurrency only slightly redistributes financial flows. At the same time, the population of our planet is increasing, and due to sudden climate change, the volume of agricultural land is decreasing. If the younger generation can eat less, then perhaps they will choose finance as a priority, including more involvement in cryptocurrency. But this is unlikely to happen directly on the scale of an entire generation.

In my opinion, this is because many farmers do not want their children not to become farmers for various reasons. And they prefer to direct or want their children to go to college to become government employees, office workers, engineers, doctors, police and so on. Because they consider it more prosperous than the agricultural sector, their parents want their children to be much better than their fathers.
And I think this is one of the reasons because the younger generation is still being educated by their parents who work as farmers so that they can be better than them. Because they feel the truth and think that if they become farmers they will not be prosperous, and will not be far from poverty or living hand to mouth.
Moreover, with advances in technology, many young people do not want to be left behind, including investing in digital currency which they use as an alternative opportunity to make money.

And what I said is a fact and most of it is like that, it's different if the new generation wants it for themselves.

exactly the younger generation are definitely focusing on developing technology to grow the yield, its not like most people aren't interested in farming but people who are interested in farming nowadays are very committed one they will try to integrate technology into their farming to increase the yield.
such as utilizing drone for fertilizer for their plants and so on there are certainly many way where we can integrate technology into the agriculture and farming in general.
younger generation definitely interested more in the developing technology though since if there's technology invented then it could increase more yield and that means
much more money than previously using rather traditional method.
i've seen in various countries they even use UV light to double productivity of dragon fruit.

Look at the bright side, it means there will be a lot supply in government employees, office workers, engineers etc. This will make the entity can decrease the salary because they know there are a lot people wants this job.

On the other hands, no one is interested with agricultural sector, so this will make foods price increase and they can make higher profit because the foods is scarce when there are a lot people want to feed themselves.

It's always supply and demand.

[Gormicsta]

Most of the younger generation is more interested in the current digital era, they would prefer to be able to grow the money they have by investing, whether choosing deposits in banking or investing in crypto.  The younger generation's interest in the agricultural sector is of course very rare. This must of course be taken into account so that the next generation is not interrupted from being interested in investing in the agricultural sector by collaborating with traditional and modern methods. For example, they invest in crypto, the profits are extended to the agricultural sector

Previously, they also had to be able to form a community so they could work together

To make cryptocurrency investments work for the agriculture industry, we must establish a system that resembles an efficiently functioning machine. Here's how it might work:

1. A cryptocurrency fund is established to invest in the blockchain relies agriculture ventures such as tracking options for the distribution of food or innovative agricultural equipment.

2. The younger investors place their financial resources in the fund, recognizing that their donations are helping to develop the agricultural industry and may boost returns.

3. The fund's assets provides frequent updates to investors on the status and impact of agricultural investments, thereby boosting confidence and openness. To grab the desire of the younger generation in agriculture, we must also find a method to make it appealing and meaningful.

In as much as everyone of use has what we are doing that is giving us funds, we keep to keep doing it. Everyone has there own line of duty and we don't have to bother much about that. We all going to eat and food will be sufficient because there are people that are ready to farm to have money to pay bills and do other things. We have different roles we play so we don't need to be afraid of food security. The government is in charge and is going to determine whether the law enforcement support food sufficiency.

 Just like we have been seeing different news about farmers laments of high price of agricultural material and fertilizer necessary for farming and becoming more expensive and the government is come up with high inflation that is affecting the production of food supply.

[jrrsparkles]

Food farming and processing always has potential but no more for the retail farmers, already big companies started taking over every part and if I am not wrong the shift already happened many decades back or atleast where I am living, now only who are rich do it as hobby not really as a business.

[Juse14]

Agriculture and the food industry must continue because we all need to eat. However, it is very unfortunate that the reality of farmer regeneration continues to decline, because the younger generation is reluctant to enter the world of agriculture, even though if you look closely, businesses in the agricultural and food sectors are quite promising. Meanwhile, when we talk about investment in crypto or bitcoin, we are talking about the long term and the future. but when we talk about agriculture, we are talking about today and the future. Investment in Bitcoin should be a sideline to increase income alone, while agriculture should be our main priority. And young people must be aware of the current situation, where the food crisis is occurring and hunger is occurring everywhere, the agricultural and food industries really need their (young people) presence. and we need to remember, that no matter how much money we have, if there is no food then the money we have has no meaning at all.
