This research was part of “The Future of Work, Labour After Laudato Sì” global initiative that connected Catholic-inspired and other faith-based organizations to help promote and implement Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Sì in areas related to work. The initiative brought   together   international, regional, state   and   local   actors   to   improve   global governance and to highlight just policies and good practices.  The International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) led the research track for this project on “Jobs, demography and migration.” The report is one of the studies commissioned by ICMC to SMC.  Like the global trend, young Filipinos are retreating from agriculture despite programs to attract or retain them in the sector. Although agriculture may not be a viable alternative to international labor migration today, case studies of young Filipinos introducing innovations in agriculture are hopeful signs.
