The Embassy of the United States in London is inviting eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement a two- to three-week exchange program on the topic of the U.S. livestock, dairy, and grains industry for young UK farmers, students of agricultural studies, and young people working in industries closely associated with farming in the UK.

The program should include site visits and meetings in a variety of U.S. locations of interest to the agricultural industry in the United States.  The program will provide a well-rounded introduction to a range of agricultural issues and exploration of U.S. public and private sector approaches.
