| Description: |
The Embassy of the United States in London invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to
develop and implement a two- to three-week exchange program on the topic of the U.S.
livestock, dairy, and grains industry for young UK farmers, students of agricultural studies, and
young people working in industries closely associated with farming in the UK. The program
should include site visits and meetings in a variety of U.S. locations of interest to the agricultural
industry in the United States. The program will provide a well-rounded introduction to a range
of agricultural issues and exploration of U.S. public and private sector approaches. Strictly
subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy of the United States in London expects to
select one program implementer for a grant award from $100,000 up to $125,000.
The implementing partner will be responsible for arranging all program logistics (international
and domestic flights, accommodation, and transport) as well as the agenda of meetings,
activities, and cultural events. The program should introduce them to the range of diverse
agricultural practices in the United States and encourage connections between the next
generation of U.S. and UK agricultural leaders as partners in trade, innovation, and exchange in
best practices.
