Farming now a fertile career choice

NAIROBI - Kenya's jobless graduates are turning to the farming sector as demand for produce rises amid a fast-growing population.

Previously, young people tended to seeking employment in agribusiness only after failing to get white-collar jobs. Now, many are going into farming straight from university.

Part of the reason for the shift is that unemployment in the East African nation stands at 40 percent, according to the World Bank.
