The Movement for School Based Agricultural Education is a fast-growing global network of people and organizations committed to empowering youth to transform agriculture and food systems.
Core Team
The Movement for School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) is a coalition of agricultural student organizations, development implementers, research institutions, multilateral agencies, local governments, donors, and the private sector—all working together to scale SBAE globally.
Activities of The Movement are coordinated by a dedicated secretariat hosted by AgriCorps, with oversight from the AgriCorps Board of Directors.
