Farmers are some of the most important professionals in the world. As the saying goes: “you can survive a day without lawyers or doctors, but you cannot without a farmer.”

While farmers serve the most vital roles in society, they are often neglected – not being prioritized in economic interventions and legislations.

In this internship, the Institute for Global Studies prepared placements for you on organizations that propel economic empowerment to our farmer-heroes. In this way, you will be a part of the local sustainable food movement.

Complete a rewarding internship in your country of choice – Philippines, Australia, USA, or Mexico, among many others.

Immerse yourself into interesting cultures, traditions, and customs in your host country.
