A national experiential learning programme taking secondary school students out of the classroom and into the fields, labs and factories that feed Mauritius, building the knowledge, curiosity and careers our food future depends on.
Food import dependency is rising, the farming population is ageing, and fewer young people see agriculture as a future worth choosing. This programme exists to change that trajectory, one classroom, one field visit, one harvest at a time.
Each grade spends one immersive week: five consecutive days, five different hosts across the agricultural value chain, building toward a deeper, more technical understanding of food systems.
Food security, local food systems and why agriculture matters to Mauritius.
Crop production, livestock, soil health and sustainable growing practices.
How raw produce becomes packaged food, from factory floor to supply chain.
Marketing, logistics, value addition and the commercial side of farming.
Climate-smart tech, precision farming, research and future career paths.
Organisations across the agricultural value chain, from farms and food processors to research bodies and public institutions, each host one full day of a student cohort's immersion week.
