      abstract = {Even under optimistic assumptions about the rate of  urbanization and growth of non-farm employment, agriculture  will still be the main source of livelihood for the  majority of Africans for at least the next
several decades  (Losch 2012). Non-farm wage
jobs in Sub-Saharan Africa will  be able to
absorb between 40 to 65 percent of  the
additional 122 million workers estimated to
enter the  labor force before 2020 (Fine et al. 2012). This means that  farming will be called upon to provide gainful employment  for at least a third of young Africans entering the labor  force till at least 2025.},
