Training Abroad

MESA's Certificate of Global Agroecology and Local Food Systems integrates practical and academic learning for a career in sustainable food systems. This hand-on learning and cross-cultural exchange opportunity offers experience in community-based agriculture and field education in international food justice to equip beginning farmers and food justice activists with the skills needed to repair our global food system. MESA's enthusiastic team of alumni and faculty are eager to provide Stewards with participatory learning and hands-on experience in rural agricultural systems, comprehensive academic curriculum, language immersion, mentorship and community integration. 

Applications are due May 24th. Please email jaclyn [at] mesaprogram [dot] org if your college or organization requested an extended deadline.

"Climate change, environmental degradation, rising energy costs, hunger, and poverty are major international challenges that agriculturalists will face in the near future. The MESA model addresses the urgent need for a critical mass with comprehensive training in agroecology and the foundations of sustainable food systems to tackle the roots of these problems on a local and global level."

-Miguel Altieri, Ph.D. UC Berkeley
