Youth Network
Youths are considered as the future leaders of the world. Youths can contribute to a greater extent in making a better world with food security, prosperity, peach and happiness through utilizing their innovative ideas in developing advanced food production system, communicating and collaborating with fellow partners. A properly designed platform can help to stimulate the young minds to think and work together for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In response, Smart Agro-Technology Innovation Youth Network (SAIYN) was established in April 2021 at the Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, to provide a friendly environment to the learners of universities, colleges and schools, so that they (especially the female) can spontaneously share their smart agricultural ideas to the larger communities.

Smart Agro-Technology Innovation Youth Network (SAIYN)
SAIYN is a knowledge-based learning platform for youths where they explore and boost their interests on smart and innovative agro-technologies for sustaining agricultural (crop, fisheries and livestock) production, processing and marketing to ensure food- and nutrition security. This is principally a youth-based network focusing on youth agropreneurship and empowerment. This network is formed in connection with 4-H Illinois approach through the project “Appropriate Scale Mechanization Innovation Hub (ASMIH) Phase II-Bangladesh”, a core component of Appropriate Scale Mechanization Consortium (ASMC) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, and financed by the Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab (SIIL), Kansas State University and Feed the Future, USAID, USA.
