The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Jonesboro, LA, is dedicated to nurturing a generation of advocates for a just and sustainable food system. Through our comprehensive training program, we empower selected Fellows to engage deeply in food assistance efforts, ecological literacy, and community agriculture. Participants gain hands-on experience in organic farming practices, learn to grow and distribute diversified crops, and develop innovative health education programs. Our Fellowship prioritizes accessibility by eliminating tuition costs, ensuring a diverse range of individuals can contribute to enhancing food equity. Each Fellow undertakes a six-month immersive experience at our farm campus, followed by a year of community-driven initiatives alongside local non-profits, enhancing access to emergency food and fostering local support networks. Applications are open until March each year, with the fellowship experience typically held from May through October.
