This paper reviews literature on youth engagement in agriculture from 2011 to 2021. In decades, there has been no comprehensive review on youth engagement in agriculture in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia covering academic scholarship and the gray literature. Given the challenges faced by Philippine agriculture due to an aging population of food producers and the departure of young individuals from rural farming communities, this review aims to provide insights on enhancing youth engagement in agriculture. The search involved using ProQuest and Google Scholar, yielding a final list of 21 articles from an initial pool of 284. The mixed-method approach has gained popularity for its ability to provide comprehensive insights through quantitative and qualitative research methods. Educational institutions initiated most of the studies reviewed. The schooled youth appear to be the foci of inquiries resulting in the underrepresentation of the out-of-schoolyouth in the academic literature. A significant finding is the disconnect between the reasons for youth disinterest in agriculture and the strategies employed to engage them. This misalignment could lead to long-term issues. Furthermore, literature that delves into the youth’s perspective on the intersection of agriculture and their lives remains limited.
