Description
Since
1984, the U.S. Congress has made funds available to the Cochran Fellowship
Program for training agriculturalists from middle-income countries, emerging
markets, and emerging democracies. Training opportunities are for senior and
mid-level specialists and administrators working in agricultural trade and
policy, agribusiness development, management, animal, plant, and food sciences,
extension services, agricultural marketing, and many other areas. Individuals
selected for Cochran trainings come from both the public and private sectors.
All training occurs in the United States. Training programs are designed and
organized in conjunction with U.S. universities, USDA and other government
agencies, agribusinesses, and consultants.
Training
objectives must support the agricultural extension goals of the Cochran
Fellowship Program to assist eligible countries to develop agricultural systems
necessary to meet the food and fiber needs of their domestic populations and/or
strengthen and enhance trade linkages between eligible countries and
agricultural interests in the United States by providing fellowships to
individuals from eligible countries who specialize in agriculture for study in
the United States.
