Agriculture Volunteer Programs Abroad

Developed over 12,000 years ago, agriculture is one of the oldest and most essential industries in the world. Things like animal domestication, crop fertilization, and irrigation revolutionized the nomadic hunter-gatherer society into larger, more established civilizations. Even in our highly technological and globalized economy, agricultural techniques and local food sourcing are vital cultural discussions. Agricultural volunteers are needed to help improve and facilitate these operations, especially in less industrialized regions. Furthermore, agriculture volunteering incorporates a variety of fields, from farming to biology to conservation.

A Guide to Agriculture Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad in Agriculture

Agriculture volunteer opportunities provide participants with a wide array of placement options. Farming placements, for example, may focus on specific crops, such as corn or coffee production, or specific animals, like dairy farms. Volunteers have a lot of freedom to pursue their passion within the field, whether it’s genetics and breeding, agroforestry and conservation, permaculture, or even fair trade practices. Agriculture volunteering can also be an excellent source of physical activity and outdoor adventure for international volunteers, not to mention the satisfaction they’ll gain giving back to the community and helping locals take control of their own survival and sustainability.

IVHQ Christmas Program in Guatemala

I volunteered with IVHQ for their Christmas program in Antigua, Guatemala. This was my first experience with IVHQ and I will definitely volunteer with them again. I stayed with a local family who were kind, thoughtful and made me feel right at home. The accommodations were modest but clean and comfortable. The Christmas program was a great experience because we had the opportunity to do a variety of activities including working with seniors and children, picking coffee beans, and a cultural immersion. I appreciate that IVHQ partners with local organizations on the ground.
