AGRICULTURE GIFTS
For many communities around the world, natural disasters, failed crops, and inadequate farming practices result in poor harvests, making it challenging for a family to put food on the table. When you bless a family with an agriculture gift, you are helping them successfully grow enough produce and raise enough livestock to feed their children and earn additional income. Food for the Hungry (FH) also works with families by training them in best practices for agricultural success.
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land.
— Deuteronomy 28:8
