Our Mission
We stand with rural peoples against racial and economic injustice
For nearly a century, Agricultural Missions has stood with farmers, women, Indigenous groups, and youth movements around the world—linking their struggles for justice, dignity, and opportunity.
What We Do
Founded in 1930, Agricultural Missions began as a movement of churches and agricultural educators strengthening village life and food systems. Over time, it became a trusted convener, connecting Black farmers in the U.S. South with campesinos in Latin America, women leaders in Brazil with grassroots organizers in Africa, and youth cooperatives across Asia and the Caribbean.
Our commitment remains simple: lasting change comes when rural people lead.
We work where rural communities are shaping their futures:
West Africa Initiative: Youth in Agriculture and Gender Justice programs in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
U.S. Study Sessions: Immersive exchanges connecting communities across borders to share strategies for land, food, and racial justice.
Food Sovereignty and Advocacy: Supporting grassroots voices in shaping policies that affect their lives.
Stories of Impact
Every partnership tells a story of resilience. From girls’ education initiatives in Sierra Leone to Black Belt convenings in the U.S., we lift up the voices of communities leading the struggle for equity and sustainability.
