In this episode of the Unmoderated Youth Podcast, Angela from Uganda and Esther from Sierra Leone engage in a dynamic conversation about their work in agriculture and standards. Angela, a standards officer, highlights her role in ensuring the safety and quality of products in Uganda, while Esther shares her inspiring journey into agribusiness. Initially planning to open a laundry service, Esther was motivated to pivot to agriculture after guidance from mentors, particularly FAO, which provided essential training. She discusses overcoming challenges such as competition and the value of building relationships with local farmers. Both women emphasize the importance of value addition and technology in agriculture, noting how it can reduce food insecurity and improve product quality. Angela reflects on the impact of educating consumers about food safety, especially in the context of Uganda’s food-related health issues, while Esther stresses the significance of organic farming and sustainability in Sierra Leone. Both encourage youth to explore agriculture, highlighting its potential for growth and community impact. Their conversation concludes with advice to young people: stay resilient, start small, and remain open to learning.
