| Introduction | The contents of this blog do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. The U.S. Agency for International Development’s Farmer-to-Farmer program relies on the expertise of volunteers from U.S. farms, universities, cooperatives, businesses, and nonprofits to respond to local needs in developing and transitional countries. In addition to their expertise, volunteers bring the democratic free-enterprise values of Americans to their hosts and demonstrate personal concern. They also gain insights into the people they help, and enjoy an adventurous form of travel. This blog provides a space for USAID Farmer-to-Farmer volunteers to share their experiences and is administered by ACDI/VOCA. ACDI/VOCA was the first Farmer-to-Farmer program implementer and currently manages USAID’s Farmer-to-Farmer programs in West Africa and the Middle East/North Africa.
