The Leventis Foundation Agricultural Training Program 2026 is a unique opportunity for young Nigerians to gain practical skills in farming and agribusiness. This fully funded one-year initiative, supported by the Leventis Foundation, aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in the agricultural sector.
At the heart of the program is a commitment to modern, sustainable agriculture and the responsible use of natural resources. The Leventis Foundation Nigeria has been a pioneer in agricultural capacity development since 1987, operating six training schools across different agro-ecological zones in partnership with State Governments.
