USDA International Ag Education Fellows Go on to Teach Next Generation of American Agriculturalists

The USDA has been committed to agricultural education for more than a century through partnerships with land-grant institutions and youth extension programs. Three years ago, the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) launched its International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program (IAEFP), to extend ag education into select countries to assist with sharing agricultural practices and growing trade opportunities.
