The Farmer to Farmer program relies on the expertise of U.S. Citizens and great card holders to respond to agriculture and agribusiness needs in the developing world. Volunteers donate their time and Land O’Lakes, the Implementer for F2F in the MENA region, takes care of all of the volunteer’s travel arrangements and expenses relating to the assignment.
Farmer to Farmer Assignments are a great way to gain international work experience, offer expertise to those in need, and get a chance to see a new part of the world. Most Farmer to Farmer volunteers return to report great personal satisfaction from the experience.
