The “Pillar two: Agricultural Education and Innovation” is the area in which CAG focuses. This Call for Grant Applications (CAG) will take into account proposals that enhance the capacity of farmers, farming communities, young people, and/or women, and facilitate access to the resources, education, and assistance they require to continuously improve their practises, foster resilience, boost their profitability, and contribute to a world with adequate access to food.

- Showcase the project’s main tasks that will be accomplished. Activities can include, but are not limited to, offering farmers and other stakeholders technical assistance, hands-on training, online instruction, agricultural-related career training, farmer field schools, and on-farm demonstrations to assist them in thriving, transitioning from subsistence agriculture to market-oriented production, changing the food system, conserving natural resources by fighting climate change, and more.
