The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Bettendorf, IA, is dedicated to nurturing advocates for a just food system that prioritizes social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic viability. Through our innovative program, we provide comprehensive training and hands-on experience in organic food systems, ensuring accessibility by waiving tuition fees. Fellows participate in a six-month experiential residency at Allegheny Farm, where they gain essential skills to grow diversified crops, run educational initiatives in health care, maintain community and school gardens, and enhance food literacy among students. Our Fellows are empowered to work alongside regional non-profit organizations during a Community Action Year, actively contributing to the development of markets for fresh, healthy foods and bolstering community food initiatives. We welcome applications until March each year, with the fellowship typically running from May through October, offering a transformative pathway to becoming impactful leaders in food justice.
