This study points to potential gaps in policies & interventions targeting young people in African agriculture by investigating their diverse mobilities, aspirations & engagements in northern Ghana. It challenges the prevalent notion of African farmers’ movements from rural to urban areas, and out of farming altogether, as we found evidence of young people migrating from urban to rural areas. Vercillo and Frayne also show that the intersection of generation, place and gender unevenly shaped young people’s movements to and away from rural areas, along with the broad patterns of their involvement with farming.
