WHY AGROTOUR

3,400+

Total Beneficiaries Reached

Africa’s agricultural future is a youth opportunity.

Agriculture has four times the potential of any other sector to create jobs and reduce poverty. Africa holds 65% of the world’s remaining arable land, while feeding a global population approaching nine billion will depend on how that potential is used.

Agrotour International brings young Africans together to learn, connect and build agriculture around innovation and ecology. The aim is practical: stronger enterprises, greater food self-sufficiency, durable employment and sustainable development in the Great Lakes region and beyond.
