A survey of rural in- and out-of school young people towards agriculture, based on field-work in two regions in Ethiopia, is remarkably rich and insightful. Life as a farmer was tied to life in a village which most respondents saw as hard and demanding. Yet there was considerable heterogeneity in the views of the young. Participants in both regions concurred that agriculture has changed significantly over the last decade. The introduction and adoption of agricultural inputs such as improved seeds, fertilisers and better farming methods have produced significant increases in productivity and earnings.
There were competing narratives on whether agriculture was becoming more desirable to young people as a result. Participants felt that these developments were making agriculture more and more profitable and therefore more appealing. But they felt that there was a huge obstacle in engaging in it – scarcity of land. Although the dominant view was that young people are disinterested in agriculture, some participants pointed out that this was not always the case.
A slightly more positive attitude towards agriculture was evident among young people who had left school, either failing to complete high school for various reasons or to qualify for higher level education. Although this group of respondents were equally aware of the grimness of traditional agriculture and the life of the common farmer, many were not dismissive of agriculture as a possible future livelihood, while a few even saw it as a preferred livelihood option, under improved conditions.

北京園依山而建，占地面積1.24公頃，由三進庭院組成，融匯了皇家園林的精華，包括幽雅的宮廷園、富麗大氣的山水園、含蓄內斂的山地園，處處彰顯了皇家園林富麗典雅的氣質。

步入北京園的第一進院，是個四合院式的宮廷園林，依景種植松石、翠竹，還有以白色花卉為主的牡丹、玉蘭、海棠，體現了幽靜、典雅的宮廷氛圍；

第二進院是自然與人工交匯的山水園，突顯堂皇大氣，是全園景觀的經典；第三進院則是一處既含蓄又內斂的皇家山地園，北京園的主要建筑“萬象昭輝”就坐落于此。

“萬象昭輝”是北京園的最高點，拾階而上，登上高處，園內的方池、書樓、廊榭、亭臺、石橋盡收眼底。放眼園外，可以看到京石高速上高鐵飛馳而過，仿佛預示著過去的繁榮和今天的快速發展。
