Washington, DC - The American Farm Bureau Federation has teamed up with CNFA, an organization dedicated to improving rural incomes in less-developed parts of the world, to identify farmers and ranchers and other agricultural professionals who might be interested in the Farmer-to-Farmer Program.
Volunteers spend three weeks overseas, experiencing another culture and, more importantly, providing important technical assistance to farmers and others to help promote sustainable improvements in food production, processing and marketing.
Volunteering with the CNFA Farmer-to-Farmer Program can lead to concrete benefits for people in developing countries and personal satisfaction for volunteers. |
