Listening again to young people in agriculture
Myriam Dago questions an assumption during fieldwork in Côte d’Ivoire.
The context
What the reporting shows
The international-development student began research on agricultural employability expecting lack of interest to be a central obstacle. Conversations in the field challenged that starting point. Her internship reflection shows why listening to participants can reshape a research question before anyone proposes a solution.
The stakeholder lens
Who this work touches
Read this source-linked brief through five lenses: the university as source institution; the people and practitioners named in the reporting; the campus or civic setting around the work; the alumni reader who may carry the question forward; and any partner, which is left unassigned unless the source names one. No sponsor or outreach relationship is inferred here.
The takeaway
A question to carry forward
For alumni readers, the useful next step is to follow the original reporting for names, dates and outcomes. This digest adds an editorial frame while keeping the source page as the authority.
