5 participants of MESA (Multinational Exchange for Sustainable Agriculture) program are currently taking part in a short-term training at ARI.
This program brings together people working in the agricultural sector in the United States. Participants include individuals who have worked for years on farms that practice seed collection, those working on organic farms, and the accompanying professor who teaches agroecology. They are interested in the organic farming, community, and leadership practices implemented at ARI. They study and work on the farm together with ARI participants and occasionally attending sessions just for themselves. They also share their experiences and learn from one another during breaks.
