Faculty Exchange Program
U.S. Department of Agriculture Faculty Exchange Program In Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Sciences
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Faculty Exchange Program (FEP), managed by the Foreign Agricultural Service, International Cooperation and Development, was created in 1994 to bring instructors from agricultural institutions of higher learning to the United States for five months to increase their knowledge of, and ability to teach, agricultural economics and marketing and agribusiness in a market economy and in agricultural science subjects such as animal health, food quality, food inspection, phytosanitary measures, and grades and standards.
The FEP increases the number of staff who understand how agricultural systems function in a market economy by improving the quantity and quality of academic and adult education programs in agricultural economics and marketing, agribusiness and agrarian law. The FEP promotes the long-term development of sound agricultural policy, and competitive agricultural marketing and business systems in the host country to enable it to compete successfully in a global economy.
