Agriculture without students, agriculture without a future?

SOL11 September 2026 at 08:30

When an agricultural school, in the heart of one of the country's main agricultural regions, opens dozens of spots and almost no one shows up to fill them, the problem is not just that school's. It is all of ours.

The article alerts to the lack of interest from young people in agricultural training, even in regions where agriculture is a central and vital activity for the local economy.

The situation raises questions about the future of the agricultural sector, which depends on qualified labor and young people interested in continuing the activity in rural areas.

The text suggests that this is a concern that should mobilize society as a whole, and not just the educational community directly affected.

David John Castañeda, an American from Texas, reached 210 kg at 19 years old, suffering from binge eating that led him to eat until feeling pain. His daily menu included eight-egg omelettes, entire packages of pasta, countless slices of bread, and large portions of tortillas, rice and meat. After realizing he wasn't eating out of hunger, but out of habit, and that he had lost the ability to recognize satiety, David decided to change his lifestyle without resorting to surgery or medications.
