JBS USA and National 4-H Council announced a $750,000 partnership to expand hands-on agricultural education, science-based learning, and leadership development opportunities for young people across rural America.
As one of the world’s leading food companies, JBS is deeply connected to the farmers and ranchers who form the backbone of US food supply chain. This connection emphasises the company’s belief that supporting youth agriculture programs is critical to sustaining rural communities and the workforce that powers American agriculture.
Wesley Batista Filho, CEO of JBS USA, said, “As a business at the centre of US food ecosystem, our success is inseparable from the success of farmers and ranchers. This partnership with 4-H is a natural extension of our longstanding commitment to rural communities—from college tuition for our team members and their families to investments in the communities where we operate. By investing in 4-H, we are helping cultivate a generation of informed, innovative, and responsible leaders who will ensure a vibrant and secure American food system for decades to come.”
Jill Bramble, president and CEO of National 4-H Council, said, “This partnership opens the door for young people to explore animal science and ag technology while building career and life skills such as critical thinking and confidence. With JBS, we will help more youth who are Beyond Ready to pursue careers that will help strengthen their communities and shape what comes next in agriculture.”
