There are too many organizations working throughout the earth with great intentions and hard effort but minimal impact. If your organization suffers from unrealized potential then know that you are not alone. Agricultural development and food security programs do not need to be so hard. So why are they? Your international organization is dedicated to serving communities to become more resilient and sustainably healthy. Yet, droughts, pests, conflicts, and a lack of infrastructure inhibit the production, transportation, delivery, and consumption of food. Limited extension services and educational opportunities prevent many chances for improvement. Obstacles abound.
The International Development Extension Agency, IDEA, empowers communities throughout the world to improve their food security by equipping farmers, agribusinesses, INGOs, and government agencies with the training and guidance necessary for success. IDEA utilizes its decades of international experience, advanced academic degrees, and vast network of experts to support development-focused organizations in all corners of the world to implement agricultural development programs. IDEA’s consultation focuses on establishing and improving agriculture programs with field-tested practices that achieve quality impact.
