Faculty Exchange Program

The Faculty Exchange Program enhances the teaching ability of agricultural educators from institutions of higher learning in developing countries.  Participants come to the United States for one academic semester (4 months) to acquire new knowledge and enhance their ability to teach and build curricula at the university level.  Since 1995, the program has provided training opportunities for hundreds of agricultural educators across the developing world.  Program alumni play an integral role in training the next generation of scientists and policymakers to better understand the global agricultural marketplace and support science-based trade policies.
