http://www.fas.usda.gov/icd/borlaug/borlaug.htm
The cornerstone of the Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellows Program (Borlaug Fellows Program) is faculty and scientist exchange programs with developing countries. The program provides short-term scientific training for international agricultural research scientists and policymakers from selected developing countries. Each Fellow is assigned a mentor who will coordinate the Fellow’s training and visit the Fellow’s host country after completion of the training. Training venues include U.S. land grant universities, USDA or other government agencies, private companies, not-for-profit institutions and international agricultural research centers.
Geographic Coverage
The program is open to participants from developing and middle income countries. At this time, the priority regions of coverage are Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia, with active programs in Afghanistan, Algeria, Armenia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Central America, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Guyana, Morocco, Oman, Peru, the Philippines, Romania, Serbia-Montenegro, Tunisia, Vietnam, West Africa, and Yemen.
Purpose
The purpose of the Borlaug Fellows Program is to help countries strengthen their agricultural practices through the transfer of new science and agricultural technologies. The program encompasses a wide variety of agricultural technologies, including those related to production, processing and marketing. The program also addresses obstacles to the adoption of technology, such as ineffectual policies and regulations. Areas of training can be in any agriculture-related field, and include traditional areas such as agronomy, plant pathology, entomology, veterinary sciences, microbiology, agricultural economics, but also may include food safety, sanitary and phytosanitary topics, environmental sciences, agricultural biotechnology, global climate change, water quality and management, among others.
