In today’s time where inflation is higher than ever with lower chances of huge incomes, kids nowadays are looking at where there can be money.

Of course they would be interested in sectors that could bring them most money. The younger generation is always experimenting and trying out new ideas to make some profits. If the government can not help the farmers and the agricultural sector at large, not even the older generations would take interest in investing in such things anymore.

In an economist perspective, this might be a sign of something that should be addressed soon. In our perspective as investors, it is practical and smart and thus should be void of any emotional nor sentimental value.

However, it is very unfortunate, in reality the younger generation's interest in getting involved in the agricultural industry is very minimal. And of course I say this not without reason, I see this reality very clearly, because I live in an agricultural country. Young people are very reluctant to enter the agricultural industry, because the profession of a farmer is often considered lowly. Even though going into the agricultural industry seems profitable, because their prestige is very high, they prefer to work as office employees, even though the wages they earn are relatively small. I don't know what the conditions for food security will be like in the future, but if you look at the existing reality, there is very little interest in becoming a farmer and land continues to shrink. If this problem is not addressed immediately, perhaps the food security situation in the future will be more difficult than today.

Investing only for money can never be a sign of a developed nation.  It is good to invest for money or for growth of money but you have to think about the country too.  Youth must be invested in the agriculture sector and innovative farming systems should be invented.  This is also one of the ways of an income.  Interest in Bitcoin has increased among young people.  The new generation thinks that farming or investing in the agricultural sector is the work of the lower classes.  We have to change this perception and make them aware of how important agriculture is to a country.  Moreover, investments in agriculture can be profitable if advanced technology is used.
Your not wrong here! Investing in a country should not just be focused on technology but should be spread out towards all the important things a country needs. Getting young people involved in agriculture is going to make the sector work so well. Meanwhile i thought about combining advanced technology with agriculture would make a greater impact. Farming has become more efficient and profitable thanks to the new technological tools but only a few are interested in it. That is why i am in support of the idea that the young ones should be encouraged to see agriculture as something that is good, and not something of low importance.

This is really my concern. People are now interested in quick money which only few will be lucky at attaining it. The thing they do not understand is that this money can come quickly but it wont last because it was not built on a strong foundation. There is a different between quick money and a foundational money is that quick money comes and go, but foundational money creates more channel of money flows. It stays for a lifetime. Only few persons understand this and if you check those persons when they get wealthy they can never go broke again.

You are right. Agriculture investment is very good and very important to the government at large because it will give a country other ways of generating revenue from other countries, which will be another benefit to the nation in my country. The current government has taken the agricultural sector as another important thing to do now because they have realized how useful it is and how it will reduce the cost of living in the country because if a country can produce its own food, then I assure that there is no more cost of food in the country, which is a very good thing.

Must”. It isn’t compulsory. Youths should be involved and shouldn’t be seen as a must. Irrespective of the increased Interest in Bitcoin by youths, there are still youths who go to the farm on a daily basis. No matter how profitable Bitcoin will be, not every youth would prefer it. And honestly, farmers make a lot of money. I know they face hurdles but farming is a profitable business that could actually pay more than many average jobs.

This is not sonin the advanced country, agricultural business is a lucrative one and people are being paid well just like the regular work. We don't have to underestimate the importance of being part of the agricultural sector because this is the part that brings raw materials to several industries in the country even for international uses. It is a part we don't have to neglect because it could have a big consequences on us as a nation. It is just that many children of the new generation are not ready to work, what they care about is to keep making money online without the need to invest in agricultural business to enhance food production and supply.

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?
The younger generation has always been not interested in the agricultural sector and I see firsthand how they prefer other sectors to work even though the salary is much smaller they get. Even on campus there is such a thing as the Faculty of Agriculture, but the interest in the faculty is quite small. What I see is precisely young people when they have to go into agriculture and may be a mindset about agriculture that relies on power so as to make them malasa to enter this field. Whereas now agriculture has progressed rapidly, ranging from the process of planting to harvest because it has used machines, but understanding in developing countries is not a promising job.

I see that some countries with agricultural income have exceeded exports can actually provide wealth to the culprit and they prefer to work in agriculture compared to other sectors. Maybe the mindset must be changed because agriculture is the veins for the country and without agriculture maybe humans will never be able to get food that is suitable for consumption.

I tell you that someone of them are doing it because they love it. They are happy and it’s fun for them. Event the farmers we speak of, some people love to farm. It doesn’t matter how much money you bring them, they love planting and nurturing fruits, trees, etc. There are also people who don’t have interest in online investments, they would rather do something that can be seen and touched physically than online. There will always be different kinds of people, even the type you never believed existed.

The type of work and the principles of each person in working will never be the same as each other, mate, so you don't need to tell me that because in my own place there are also people like that who don't even like crowds like in the market so prefer to be alone with farming. Even though the agricultural products will also be sold to the market through their own agents without taking up their own selling space. So people like that still exist in this world and it is very natural that they are not interested in online business or online investment like many people do today.

I completely agree with you. There will always be people who will be more passionate about farming, growing fruits and vegetables, pets, than engaging in other types of business and investing. But who ultimately wins more is a matter of specific case. But all people need to eat every day. Therefore, agriculture is actually the basis of everything. The demand for agricultural products will always be consistently high. If there are difficulties in it, this will lead to higher prices, but people who are employed in other areas will be forced to buy these products in order to survive. Everything is interconnected here, so there is no need to worry about the future of agriculture.

this is quite worrying, considering that agriculture and food are two things that are quite important in a country. when the younger generation prefers to invest in cryptocurrency rather than in the agricultural and livestock sectors, it will have a significant impact on local industry and this could lead to basic agricultural and livestock prices soaring. prices of basic commodities may become unreasonable and that will have a negative impact on society.

and because of this problem, it is necessary for various stakeholders to be able to ensure that the younger generation can know more about agriculture and animal husbandry and can be interested and directly involved in the industry. if stakeholders can campaign positively for the industry and provide various incentives to those who want to invest or get involved in the industry, it will be very possible for the younger generation to see the potential of the industry.
It is true that many of the young generation nowadays rarely like agriculture and most of the young generation have started to leave the field of agriculture and this will be a problem if no one can produce the food needs in an area, you are right of course the government must be able to looking at this so that we can find a solution to make the current generation still like agriculture so that they can still control their food needs and prices, because if food prices continue to increase of course this will make it very difficult to meet the needs of each community and with support from The government will certainly be able to encourage the younger generation to remain involved in the field of food growth, so this will be able to control food prices and make their economy better.

We can see it today as young people are getting taught about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. However, I don’t think that it really affects the economy because people invest in cryptocurrencies, and when they make gains, they tend to use it for other bigger physical investments. Asides that, everyone can’t be rich. There will always be people who would prefer to live a lowly life and own their farm instead of online investment. Cowboys still handle herd of cattle even if Bitcoin is going ATH.

Each person or certain generation is different in choosing their path in life, so differences in choosing investments also often appear to vary among current generations. And for those who have made profits through crypto investments and are returning to other investments in physical form in this world, that is a good choice and in general it will definitely affect their economy in their respective lives. Even though not everyone can get rich at the same time, at least there are many people who are willing to try their best to get more comfort and profit.

The cowboys who still manage their ranches are not people who deliberately choose to live a simple life, but they may already have more other assets out there so they can feel calm enough in taking care of their ranches. Because work such as livestock is always separate from Bitcoin, so anyone who has bought Bitcoin and holds it can of course still do other work such as taking care of livestock because it is a different job from what he bought before. So this certainly has nothing to do with Bitcoin or the ATH that Bitcoin has achieved.

Bitcoin adoption can never be a threat to the economy besides bitcoin adoption is better compared to other investment choice, an individual can also engage in both but let's not think the agriculture sector will go down sooner or later, it's impossible as everyone have different choice to make. It's certain the younger generation will definitely make use of bitcoin as it's seen now in our generation, little children still engage in digital technology and different gaming project.  I still believe the agriculture sector will be better in the next generation compared to our generation presently. As the world continue to modernize we should be prepared to accept new inventions, technology like wise our agriculture sector, including bitcoin adoption cause no modernize society will decide to go against bitcoin adoption like how? I know the new generation have more things to offer so it's best to start educating them about the digital currency bitcoin.

In my opinion, currently with the current generation, they don't think about this, most of the current generation only think about styles that are currently trendy, because maybe that is one of the mandatory requirements for hanging out, whether it's because of prestige or thirsty for praise. they don't think about their future, maybe there is a small part of the current generation who think about their future, by doing hard work and saving or studying investments because they want their future to be able to achieve financial freedom. Everyone's desire is of course wealth and comfort, but there are people who don't want to try but want wealth or a comfortable life, that's annoying.

I think farming work or bitcoin investment are both good, I don't think either of these two things are bad. Of course, everyone has different thoughts, and as you said, everyone has their own path in life, maybe there are those who are comfortable with having a farm because it is a real activity carried out with body movements and so on. and it's the same with investments. both are equally good things.

I do not know what country you are from but in my country,  majority of the youth are not Interested in agriculture.  They would rather go for Cryptocurrency investments or other white collar jobs. There is obviously no balance between food production and other sectors of the economy and I think OP is actually right about the fact that food security might not be a priority for the younger generations.

We are fast entering into the era of food Scarcity and the obvious reason is that the agricultural sector has been neglected for other sectors they think is quite profitable.  This should be a major cause for concern, if there is no balance between other sectors of the economy and the agricultural sector,  people will have to pay a fortune to get food and other agricultural products which includes raw materials for other forms of production.

Obviously not everyone will go into crypto,  the younger generation are in every other sectors with just few young people investing in food production.
It's possible that they have personal reasons behind that,

The first thing might be the young generation does not see any future if they continue working in any agricultural jobs. It might be they don't think that if they focus only on farming, they will have a better life for themselves and their family. That's why they often find some other source of income where they can get a better payment.

Or maybe the government needs to give more attention to the agricultural sector. There should be at least one person in the government who will never neglect the future of farming as they will probably face a lot of difficulties if ever there are no longer young people who would like to continue doing this job.

In this scenario, the local government needs to provide more help to the farmers. I know this is not an easy thing to do as they have other things to consider, but there's no other way to make them continue farming if the government doesn't take any action.

Though there Is sence in what you said, cryptocurrency has been the talk of the day and the younger generation is looking upto it as a means of survival and also an escape route of poverty. One thing is for sure, everybody can not be a cryptocurrency investor or trader. Some people will belong to other aspect of life, but I strongly believe that the more reason for inflation in our country today is the inability of people or youths to adventure into farming system. If majority of people go into farming there will be more food and it will reduce inflation. Emagin when people have much money and less food in the economy, the little food will become expensive and that is what will happen. In time coming the farmers will be reacher than some interpreneu because food Is very vital and everyone must Eat.

I hope that people will start to open their eyes and see what happens when you let corporations choose what goes into the food supply. It just makes me sick the kind of things they get away with in the USA - I can only hope that we could take our eyes off of greed and look ahead towards the green. There is nothing greener about growth! Execpt for aping a fat bag but you know what I mean on those gainz. I sure do hope that these youngsters will wise up!!!
