Short term lease agreements for youth from landowners who can't utilize their land
Landowners' children are encouraged to form or join groups to use their parents' or relatives' land
RUL's extension officers, trained by National Agricultural Advisory Services, work closely with the youth groups from the sowing stage through to harvest and sale
The mechanism is a win-win arrangement for all involved:
● The youth obtain a good income by pricing produce competitively
● Landowners receive cash/produce from their land that would otherwise be unused.
● RUL brings reliable supplies for its partners
