perform agriculture using a scientific approach. They also teach them to plant using the right
procedures and as a result, the young people are able to make some money as well.
Adults also see the huge importance in 4-H because it can improve production that could often
lead to more income for farmers, teaching the youth on how to improve their livelihood and
build wealth. 4-H doesn’t only benefit the young people because the parents have changed
their view towards agriculture as well because whenever they see children producing food and
feeding themselves, they witness a significant change in their community.
If millions of young people think the same way and are all passionate about every aspect of
agribusiness, then the science, production, and distribution involved will surely prosper. Adults
in Africa see their young people as the ones who will transform their country and their older
generations. The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow.
4-H also makes young people ready for the future with their knowledge on agriculture. DuPont
strongly believes that one day, different communities in Africa will prosper, bringing change to
their country and will solve its food problems and the world’s.
A lot of families from different countries also consider 4-H as a big part of their family because
it helped them learn and succeed. DuPont, together with Cathay Dupont Award and other
families, is very proud to support 4-H and be a part of shaping the youth today who will be
feeding the world tomorrow.
On the last note, Cathay Dupont Award would like to add that indeed, 4-H is often regarded as
an agriculturally focused organization but nowadays, it also focuses on citizenship, healthy
living, science, engineering, and technology programs.
