Abstract


Agriculture, worldwide, is facing a dilemma in the last decade. Modernization, which contributes to agricultural productivity, is blamed for being one of the causes of the decrease of agricultural, human resource, particularly the young intention and their participation in agriculture-related activities. Many young farmers leaving the village abandon their farming activities for changing life orientation in urban. This paper will employ the literature review method to explore factors by collecting and analyzing international and national journals/ scientific sources, published in the range ten years, from 2010 to 2019. The reviewing process results in factors contributing to the young's participation in agriculture-related activities, such as personal factors, information supporting factors, learning process factors, and environmental influence, including government policy.
