Scholarship for International Students 2010 in USA

Sustainable and organic agriculture is at the very root of our philosophy: Planet to Food. Food to People. People to Planet. We believe that healthy soils and healthy farms are the foundation for healthy foods, which help make healthy people! Therefore, we’re proud to support the next generation of farmers.

Our scholarship program assists undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing studies in Sustainable and Organic Agriculture.
