Future Seeds Training Academy (FSTA) is a transformational education and empowerment initiative under the Africa Initiative Impact Program (AIIP). It is designed to nurture a new generation of agri-leaders, innovators, and sustainable entrepreneurs across Africa. The academy is built around the belief that the future of Africa is rooted in its land—and that with the right training, mentorship, and innovation, agriculture can become a pathway to wealth, dignity, and self-reliance.
