Vice Presidential Candidate number two, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, stated that young people should be encouraged to engage in farming through smart farming.

He conveyed this during the fourth Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate 2024, themed "Sustainable Development, Natural Resources, Environment, Energy, Food, Agrarian, Indigenous Communities and Villages," held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, on Sunday (21/1/2024).

"To increase productivity, we will continue to encourage farmers towards agricultural mechanization. We will encourage the younger generation through smart farming," said Gibran during the vision and mission presentation session.

So, what is the data on young farmers and smart farming?

According to a Professor at the Faculty of Agriculture (Faperta), National Development University of Veteran East Java (UPNVJT), smart farming is an intelligent farming system designed to increase efficiency and agricultural productivity.

This system utilizes a digital technology approach, agricultural mechanization, and a digital-based marketing system.

Data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that around 3.57 million people (57.8%) of young farmers or millennial farmers aged 19-39 years had not yet used this digital technology in 2023.

This figure exceeds the number of millennial farmers who have used digital technology, which is 2.61 million people (42.23%).

The total number of millennial farmers aged 19-39 years was 6.18 million in 2023.
