Long-term, Rwanda must transform its agriculture sector from subsistence farming to job-creating, export-driven commercial enterprises.
This will require a growing pool of talented, well-educated young leaders with practical experience and entrepreneurial mindsets.
Practical Fellowship
The B2R Farms 12-Month Fellowship Program prepares talented Rwandan university graduates with the practical skills, mindset and hands-on experience to build successful careers in FFF training, commercial farming and other agriculture enterprises.
FELLOWS LEARN HOW TO:
Humble themselves to effectively connect and work with small-scale farmers
Train others on FFF principles and practices using different materials and tools
Manage a team to get results and a farm that produces healthy crops and fields
Build relationships with and support farmers using various means of communication
Make on-site visits to interview, train and encourage farmers and government agents
