Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a paradox of high youth unemployment amid fertile agricultural potential. This review explores how organic farming and sustainable agribusiness can generate green jobs for youth across the region. It examines key frameworks, opportunities, barriers, and policy recommendations. The article draws from agroecology, youth entrepreneurship, sustainable livelihoods, and green economy perspectives. Findings show that despite challenges in land access, capital, and training, the adoption of climate-smart organic farming can create inclusive employment, enhance food security, and contribute to ecological preservation in SSA.
