The Mr Price Foundation is playing a growing role in supporting youth development and agricultural skills training in South Africa through its HandPicked Professional Farming Programme. The initiative is designed to help young people build practical farming knowledge while also gaining exposure to modern agricultural systems. It focuses on turning interest in agriculture into real skills that can support employment and entrepreneurship in the sector. The programme reflects a long term commitment to strengthening food systems by investing in future farmers. It also creates pathways for youth who want to contribute to sustainable food production and rural development.
