Volunteers may travel individually or in teams. The Program covers all costs of airfare, lodging, meals, insurance, and any work related expenses. Farmer to Farmer volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds including, farm owners, university professors, consultants, retired professionals, business administrators, veterinarians, extension staff, etc.
