There is a huge possibility of younger or new generations adopting cryptocurrency investments compared to them getting interests on farming and food related sectors. What do you think? Does it have a good or bad effects on our economy?

In my country, farming often carries the unfortunate stereotype of being a low-income, poverty-stricken job. This negative image, coupled with challenges like selling crops, dissuades many young people from considering it. The allure of technology, with its promise of comfortable workplaces and potentially quick financial gains (though not without risks), further amplifies this disconnect.

However, this lack of interest in agriculture can have serious economic consequences. Food is a fundamental human need, and its demand constantly rises. If supply dwindles due to declining farming participation, we face a potential food security crisis in the future.
