Trade Capacity Building and Development

The Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellows Program (Borlaug Fellowship Program) helps developing countries strengthen sustainable agricultural practices by providing scientific training and collaborative research opportunities to visiting researchers, policymakers, and university faculty. The program matches participants from developing countries with experts in their field at land-grant universities, government agencies, and international research centers.

The Borlaug Fellowship Program has grown from 33 fellows from five countries in its first year in 2004, to a total of 358 fellows from 49 countries in 2008.
