AGCO Agriculture Foundation and CNFA Partnership to Support Youth Programs

Jul 31, 2025

AGCO Agriculture Foundation (the "Foundation"), a private foundation with the vision to prevent and relieve hunger through sustainable agricultural development, announced a new partnership with Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA) to support youth-led and high-impact innovations for sustainable agri-food systems.

The Foundation has awarded CNFA a $450,000 grant over three years to provide 30 AGCO Foundation Youth AgriChampions with training and resources to become agents of change for sustainable agri-food systems throughout the United States. Aptly named AgriChampions, young farmers and entrepreneurs ages 18-40 will be selected based on their accomplishments and interests in digital agriculture, climate resilience and agri-food innovations.

During each of the program's three years, the Youth AgriChampion Program will offer comprehensive training, mentorship and seed grant funding to equip the selected AgriChampions with tools and resources to transform their agri-food systems ideas into sustainable solutions within their communities.
