As the average age of farmers increases in Asia, it's becoming ever more apparent that young people are not as interested in agriculture as their parents and grandparents were. As this trend continues, so the threat to a nation's food security rises.
One of the major issues is the retention of young farmers. If more young people do not become involved in agricutlture then it will lead to food shortages and people across Asia, especially in poorer countries, will go hungry. We're reaching a critical point in Asia now with rising food prices.
How can we get more young people involved in agriculture as a generation of farmers retires?

As climate diplomacy becomes an increasing necessity, more countries are working to integrate climate change into their foreign policy. They do this both to further international cooperation to combat and address the issue and to protect domestic interests in climate change decisions that have wide implications on economic development, national security and other matters.
This diagram, produced by the International Institute for Environment and Development, presents a theory of change that depicts how the world’s poorest countries can increase the influence of their climate diplomacy.
Join the debate to help us further develop our spheres of influence and interrogate our assumptions as we strive to contribute to best policy and practice in this field.

Since 2008, when rapid increases in the prices for major grains helped to trigger outbreaks of civil unrest in more than 40 countries, scholars and policymakers have paid increased attention to the potential influence of global food prices on social and political instability. Compelling and provocative headlines have suggested that there is a direct relationship between food insecurity and conflict. However, we know from a conflict perspective that the story is always more complicated than those claims often imply. How does conflict affect food insecurity? How does food insecurity contribute to conflict? And how can development organizations effectively address both? Harvesting Peace: Food Security, Conflict, and Cooperation – the latest edition of ECSP Report – explores these complex linkages, drawing insights from scholarly work to help inform more effective programming for practitioners. Report author Emmy Simmons presents with commentary by Susan Bradley, Henk-Jan Brinkman, and Edward Carr.

Planned increases to the State Pension age have highlighted the importance of work and learning for older people.
Many people are working, either because they need to, for financial reasons, or because it’s something they want to do.
The issue of internet use is especially important for older people, because services are increasingly moving online and it’s likely this trend will continue as we move to 2020.
We believe that everyone who chooses to should be able to work, learn or volunteer. Someone’s age should never be a barrier to fulfilling their potential, realising their ambitions or making a full contribution to the economy and society.

NOTE added 08/30/2019: After 25 years, owner Daniel sadly announced earlier this month that Yang Ming Garden has closed due to a high rent increase. Very unfortunate news! Daniel says he hopes to re-open the restaurant elsewhere, but at this time, does not know where that will be.
NOTE added 02/20/2020: Happily, Yang Ming Garden announced it has reopened at its new location in Villa Park, CA.
