Youth is the hope of the nation in the present and in the future. Youth who are interested in working in the agricultural sector are the noble ideals of the Indonesian nation as the embodiment of an agrarian country. This study was aimed to determine the interest of youth in agriculture. This research was descriptive qualitative. Data collection was obtained through in-depth interviews with 1050 participants in the Youth Entrepreneurship and Employment Support Services (YESS) PROGRAM training during the period July to December 2022 in Pacitan Regency East Java. The results of this study indicated that there are still many young people who are interested in working as farmers and wish to be agricultural entrepreneurs and keep abreast of today's ever-changing developments.
