About
The Malta Youth in Agriculture Foundation (MaYA) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting youth engagement in agriculture and rural development in Malta. Founded in 2014, MaYA provides a platform for young people to explore, innovate, and lead within the agri-food sector, addressing both local and global challenges.
The foundation works to professionalise the role of youth in agriculture by fostering innovation, policy engagement, and skills development. Through strategic projects, capacity-building events, and international collaborations, MaYA strengthens the connection between young people and sustainable farming, agri-tech, and rural entrepreneurship.
MaYA also advocates for inclusive, forward-looking agricultural policies and plays a key role in shaping public discourse around food systems, climate resilience, and rural vitality. As a trusted partner in EU-funded initiatives and community-driven campaigns, the foundation contributes to a more sustainable and youth-inclusive agricultural future for Malta.
