Olivia said she believes everyone has a right to food. &#8220;I truly believe that it is a necessity that every man, woman, and child have access to nutritious and safe food throughout their lifetime,&#8221; Olivia said.<\/p>\n<p>This belief is what align Olivia with Field of Hope&#8217;s Mission and Values. She furthered this, stating, &#8220;It is the mission of Field of Hope to equip people with the right skills to ensure that their communities can grow, be food secure and empowered through agricultural pursuits and leadership development. If I can have a small part in that pursuit, I will be happy knowing that I have done what I can to advance communities further.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Olivia, agriculture brings people together and yields hard working people. &#8220;International agriculture has allowed me the opportunity to work beside some of the hardest working individuals as we work together to solve crop yield problems, sustainability issues, and create successful harvests for them and their communities. It is the \u201ctogetherness\u201d that I feel when working in international agriculture that motivates me to keep working in this field,&#8221; Olivia stated.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1269 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fieldofhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/48169468_108432500203626_1501296377978683392_n-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Field of Hope implements programs in Uganda and India aimed at empowering partners through projects in youth agricultural education, smallholder farmer advancement, and leadership development.
