Davao del Sur State College (DSSC) Sulop Extension Campus conducted a research activity documenting the involvement and participation of youth in agricultural activities in selected upland rural barangays of Sulop, Davao del Sur, on July 24 and 30, 2026.

The activity was carried out in partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Sulop, through the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO), who endorsed the participating youth of Sulop.
The assessment focused on determining the extent of youth participation in agriculture, the types of agricultural activities they engage in, their roles and contributions to farming and other related livelihood activities, as well as the challenges, needs, interests, and opportunities that influence their continued involvement in the agricultural sector.
The research activity contributed to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.
