CNFA(r) focuses on commercial activity, locally defined needs, and leveraged investment in order to foster the economic empowerment of rural residents and enterprises all along the food value chain-from farmers to local
suppliers and processors, to larger companies, financial institutions, and distributors and exporters. We offer volunteer opportunities to farmers and agribusiness professionals in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova.
