World Wide Farmers Exchange is a non-profit first started in 1952 at the request of the Honorable Earl Warren, then Governor of California. The mission of World Wide Farmers is to train young men and women from around the world to produce more food and fiber through improved agricultural techniques, while experiencing a different culture by living and participating in work experience in abroad. In the more than half a century since its inception, WFE has grown from a single country program to placements in 35 countries.
