In its unwavering commitment to the advancement of Nigerian agriculture, the Foundation is calling upon the youth and farmers to participate in a transformative educational journey that combines traditional wisdom with modern agricultural practices.

The Vision of the Leventis Training Programme

For over three decades, the Leventis Foundation has been instrumental in cultivating the skills of young farmers and agri-entrepreneurs. With six agricultural training schools across Nigeria’s diverse agro-ecological zones, the Foundation offers a robust one-year course that is meticulously designed to cover extensive areas of agriculture, its value chains, and other related business endeavours.

Why the Leventis Training Programme Stands Out

The programme stands as a unique educational experience, free of all costs, including tuition and boarding. It aims to foster a new generation of committed young farmers who will be at the forefront of an agricultural revolution, enhancing the country’s food systems.
