There are many reasons but most times it's cause social media and movies has played a role into making farmers or farming look like a poor man's job. On all the platforms these days, you only see the glamorized lifestyles of city people with their fancy careers and possessions. Farming is almost never portrayed positively.
All the influencers on Instagram and YouTube seem to flaunt their fancy gadgets and jetset holidays, which creates FOMO in young people who then don't want to be left behind that rural life.
While in reality, modern farming can be very technical with machinery and also provide a good livelihood if done right. But these positive aspects that could attract youth are rarely highlighted on social or other media.
Maybe we need to promote more stories of prosperous farmers and the opportunities in agriculture today to change the one-sided narrative. The government and organizations should find ways to partner with online content creators too to showcase the modern, lucrative side of farming careers. This may help boost interest in young people and address the lack of new blood in the sector.
 
Most youth are refusing to do farm work is because they prefer to do white collar jobs. They believe working in the farm that includes planting crops , poultry farming, fishery, pig breeding and others are dirty work that they cannot do.

That's really sad, the media has fooled a lot of people and most of them will regret it later on in life. Most White collar job to me is slavery and limits you as a young person, farming is the way to go and I hope the young ones see the future in it.
 
Many young individuals today prefer to work in a 9-5 job or online. Given the current technological advancements, positions such as graphic designers, virtual assistants, social media managers, web designers, and digital marketing specialists are among the most popular career choices.
 
Even though farming is a lucrative business, young people these days prefer to work in white collar jobs rather than pursue farming as a career. In order to earn more money, farmers must physically labor themselves, whereas employees in offices sit and work.

You don't have to work extremely hard as farmer, you can decide to employ workers to till the ground, clear the **** and even harvest them when the time is due, it all depends on how big your farm land is. Infact you can be working a 9 - 5 job and still maintain a farm.

It depends. With today's high labor costs, hiring employees lowers your profit margin. My land is too far away from the city where I currently reside, so I leased it, and the rent I receive is not enough.
 
Farming is a very interesting program that people should get involved with.
Though some youths feel that it is a dirty job.

Most youths want to be in the office put on tie and suit. They don't want to be dirty.

But what most of them do not understand is that there are a lots of money in farm
The government should also encourage youth to go into farming

Although the Indian government supports farmers with easy loans, subsidies, and annual payments, the state of Indian farmers is still poor. Although they don't make much money, many of my relatives work as farmers.

If it was my land, I wouldn't lease it out either because as you mentioned, you won't make much rent from it due to the distance. I would rather try cultivating some crops that don't require a lot of attention so that I can still make use of the land without having to be there constantly. At least that way, if the crops do well I could sell what I harvest and potentially make more profit than just leaving the land idle or renting it for little income.

We had the same thoughts as you had, but we had no choice but to lease the land because we were unable to cultivate the crops on our own. My regular offline job hindered me from organizing my time effectively.

That is very nice. I have so many Indian friends in 2018 on my friend sent some bags of rise to though it in small quantity.
I was to do business with him in exportation.
There are some youth in some part of Africa that doesn't like farming because of government policies.
For me I love farming very much

Even yet, I enjoy farming since I'm tired of stressful corporate jobs. However, the reality is that local farmers are poor and unable to make a lot of money. Many farmers in rural areas lack the resources to provide their children with a quality education, clothing, and access to healthcare. It's because they lack money-buyable current farming technologies.

That is so sad honestly.
Here in my country if you have a good farm and you successfully takes your products to urban area you will make a lot of money.
Though the challenges we are facing that is scaring a lot of people not to go into farm is because they don't want criminals to attack them
The problem we are having is that exportation of rice has been banned
Those that are farming are making cool cash

Every country has its own unique circumstances. Here the farmers have low-quality lives. Despite owning enough land for farming, one of my cousins is forced to work as a daily wage laborer at a ceramic factory in order to feed his family.
 
In the case of European countries, there would be an additional reason, together with the yet mentioned: a cumbersome legislation hindering the farming jobs. For ex., in my former country, in 2015 the politicians had the idea to force every farmer to get a qualification certificate to get the permission to follow with their activity (obviously, the aim was additional taxes). Such a regulating legislation scares the youngsters.
 
In contrast to Asian countries, where many farmers still rely on rainfall to irrigate their crops, European countries have improved technology that produces strong yields, generating good profits for farmers.
 
Farming is not an easy task for all and now a days youth does not like more physical activity they prefer to choose indoor jobs it is another reason of less interest in farming but some people still love these kind of jobs work with great effort.

Absolutely, they don't want to work under the sun they want to sit in AC room. Farming involves lots of hard work which youths these days don't like to do. Maybe this is one of the main reason for not taking farming as a profession.
