I have had the chance to complete a mapping for the cooperatives in Lebanon and gather information with regards to the youth involvement in cooperative related to agriculture sector. Out of 112 cooperatives included in the study almost none have young people as members or producers.
This is an indicator of the inability to attract young people to the sector.
In terms of evaluation, FAO and other UN organizations have mentioned the need to engage young people in agriculture activity and entrepreneurship but still it is at the level of recommendations rather than anything else.
