Young farmers play a vital role in safeguarding food security for forthcoming generations but they face many challenges. The objective of the study is to 'understand the perception of youth belonging to agriculture family of Pichanur village of Coimbatore District towards agriculture'. Purposive sampling method was adopted to collect primary data from 37 families.
