Farmer to Farmer
Farmer-to-Farmer (F2F) is a program of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The program provides for the transfer of knowledge and expertise from U.S. volunteers to farmers, farm groups, and agribusinesses in developing and transitional countries.
==Legal authority==
The Farmer-to-Farmer Program was initially funded in 1985 under Title V of Public Law 480 of the U.S. Farm Bill. The U.S. Congress authorized the current phase of the F2F Program (covering fiscal years 2009 through 2013) in the 2008 Farm Bill, designating it the "John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter F2F Program". John Ogonowski was the pilot of one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001; the project was renamed the John Ogonowski Farmer to Farmer Program to honor his extensive work with immigrant Southeast Asian farmers using his land in rural Massachusetts. Former Congressman Bereuter was the initial sponsor of the program.〔http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/agriculture/farmer_to_farmer.htm〕
Initiated as a P.L. 480-funded pilot project and authorized first under the Food Security Act of 1985 (P.L. 99-198), the program taps U.S. agricultural expertise to provide technical assistance to farmers in developing, middle income, and emerging market countries. The 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171) extends funding authority through FY2007 and requires that no less than 0.5% of P.L. 480 funds be used for the program.
The Farmer to Farmer Program was reauthorized in the current Farm Bill, known as the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.
