In today's world attaining a decent job is becoming more and more challenging for young people, particularly in the global south where the vast majority of the world's agricultural food production occurs. Unfortunately many agricultural workers in the global south are moving away from the industry as they are not being paid well enough for the work that they are doing .

Fairtrade creates the incentive to continue in the agricultural industry by paying young farmers and workers a fair wage for the hard work that they do, and with the premium providing them with training on topics such as the environment and how to deal with the effects that climate change may have on their land, which further enhance their skills.

This encourages young people to continue working within the industry of agriculture as they are recognised and rewarded for their hard work and skills, and is seen to be a viable employment option to support their future families.
