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.

北京园依山而建，占地面积1.24公顷，由三进庭院组成，融汇了皇家园林的精华，包括幽雅的宫廷园、富丽大气的山水园、含蓄内敛的山地园，处处彰显了皇家园林富丽典雅的气质。

步入北京园的第一进院，是个四合院式的宫廷园林，依景种植松石、翠竹，还有以白色花卉为主的牡丹、玉兰、海棠，体现了幽静、典雅的宫廷氛围；

第二进院是自然与人工交汇的山水园，突显堂皇大气，是全园景观的经典；第三进院则是一处既含蓄又内敛的皇家山地园，北京园的主要建筑“万象昭辉”就坐落于此。

“万象昭辉”是北京园的最高点，拾阶而上，登上高处，园内的方池、书楼、廊榭、亭台、石桥尽收眼底。放眼园外，可以看到京石高速上高铁飞驰而过，仿佛预示着过去的繁荣和今天的快速发展。
