This article analyzes different approaches to establishing rural youth in irrigation areas in the Senegal&#x0D;River delta in the context of new hydro-agricultural developments and massive land acquisitions by agrobusiness.&#x0D;Government-led irrigation projects introduced in the 1960s distributed free 0.2-hectare plots of&#x0D;land to young workers from the surrounding region. However, in the 1980s, Senegal took a liberal turn&#x0D;that led to a shift from public-sector to private-sector initiatives. As a result, young workers, who often&#x0D;lack the means necessary to acquire land, have found it much more challenging to pursue farming in&#x0D;irrigation areas. Since 2006, few young farmers have acquired any of the 5,000 hectares of new irrigated&#x0D;farmland developed through programs based on the public-private partnership model. At the same time,&#x0D;agro-industry growth has provided young people with many temporary and precarious employment&#x0D;opportunities.&#x0D;&#x0D;Based on surveys of farmers and agricultural workers in the Senegal River delta, we show how young&#x0D;people find it increasingly difficult to acquire land or secure adequate employment in the agricultural&#x0D;sector. In addition, we demonstrate that access to irrigated land, as opposed to salaried agricultural work,&#x0D;represents the most effective strategy for poverty reduction.
