In November of 2019, CALS Global Academy<\/a> was able to host a visiting group of agribusiness professionals from Algeria for a Cochran Fellowship Program. The aims of this program included streamlining poultry feed production in Algeria and growing capacity for agricultural research and international trade. This was the first time NC State has welcomed Algerian agriculture professionals for such a program, but for many of the fellows visiting, it was also their first time in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never felt American rain before,\u201d fellow Ismail Boutrik said, lowering his umbrella to enjoy the new experience outside of the NC State Feed Mill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
