"Agriculture remains vital in ensuring the food security of developing economies like India,\r\nyet increasing rural-urban migration, an aging farm population, and waning interest of\r\nrural youth in agriculture are emerging concerns. This paper focuses on the aspirations of\r\nfarm parents and their children in agriculture, the challenges they confront, and potential\r\nsolutions.We draw on qualitative data fromtwo rural sites in Southern India, different from\r\neach other in their agro-ecological and social contexts, to point to the material, social,\r\nrelational, and structural factors shaping aspirations. First, agrarian distress, resulting\r\nfrom climate variability and market uncertainty, affects farm households’ socioeconomic\r\nstatus, resulting in farmers’ aspiration failure in agriculture. Farm parents then focus on\r\neducating their children, aspiring for secure non-farm jobs for their sons, and finding\r\nsuitable marriage partners, also in non-farm employment, for their daughters. While this\r\nsteer from parents discourages youth from aspiring to careers in agriculture, in reality,\r\nthere is a wide gap in the achievement of aspirations, and a majority of youth, especially\r\nyoung women, do end up working on their family farms. For the future development of\r\nagriculture and sustainable food systems, it is essential to protect young farmers from\r\naspiration failures and innovate through appropriate policies."^^ .
