Malta Youth in Agriculture Foundation
Guidance
Working in the agriculture sector is one of the most satisfying jobs one can ever dream of - be it as a hobby, a part-time activity​ or even if you're planning to focus on it on a full-time basis.
It can however be daunting at times, and you will also learn that this is a sector full of challenges. Having said that, you don't need to deal with any of these difficulties completely on your own. It is also very likely that someone else has already faced, and overcame, whatever you are experiencing.
​
The MaYA Foundation is an independent voluntary organisation which reaches all facets of local agriculture and we may help through different means. Click here to learn how we assist our supporters, and vice versa!
