Kimseed Group directors Steve Hill and John Bird are hosts for the International Agricultural Exchange Association (IAEA).

IAEA AgriVenture is a voluntary international organisation which provides young people from Australia and overseas the fantastic opportunity to gain experience of living and working abroad in a family environment.

The main objectives of IAEA are:

• To learn about agriculture in other parts of the world;
• Try other ways of life and culture;
• Gain a better understanding of people from other countries;
• Increase the trainees knowledge of foreign languages

While most participants live and work on farms, ours live with their hosts in Perth and work in Kimseed's seed division, gaining work experience and cultural exchange.

Over the years we have welcomed people from Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, England, and Germany. All participants spend a memorable part of their 7-9 month stay as part of a project team experiencing the Australian 'bush' in the Kimberleys, Pilbara, northern Goldfields and Esperance.

AgriVenture caters for young people aged 18-30, and is a fantastic opportunity to experience other cultures and broaden horizons. If you are interested in participating in AgriVenture, information is available from the Australian office listed below.
