Agriculture Future of America (AFA)

AFA’s mission is to create partnerships that identify, encourage and support outstanding college men and women preparing for careers in the agriculture and food industry. AFA offers leader and career development training and community-based academic scholarships for college men and women pursuing a career in an agriculture-related field.

AFA men and women share the belief that the production, processing and distribution of food and fiber, with support for agriculture business services, are vital for our nation’s economy, both now and in the future. These men and women share three characteristics – they are talented, passionate and committed to a career in agriculture.

The collective attitudes, abilities and skills of people contribute to organizational performance and productivity. For AFA, expenditures in identification, training, development, health and support are an investment, not just an expense.
