The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Decorah, IA, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders who advocate for a just and sustainable food system. Through hands-on training and education, this fellowship empowers participants to become champions for social, environmental, and economic justice in agriculture. Fellows engage in a transformative six-month experiential program, gaining invaluable skills in organic farming, community engagement, and food education. Participants work alongside local non-profits to grow and distribute diverse crops, implement health-focused educational initiatives, maintain community gardens, and actively support farmers markets, enhancing access to fresh, healthy food. Our commitment to accessibility means we offer this fellowship without tuition, ensuring that passionate individuals from all backgrounds can join in our mission to create equitable food systems. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience taking place from May to October.
