Located in Mansfield, LA, the Farm & Food Systems Fellowship offers a transformative opportunity for individuals passionate about cultivating a just food system. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this Fellowship trains and empowers participants to become educators and advocates for sustainable practices across diverse communities. The program prioritizes accessibility by not charging tuition, allowing Fellows to engage in organic food system education and hands-on experiences at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA. Over the course of six months, Fellows will dive into practical skills such as growing and distributing diversified crops, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food and ecological literacy into educational settings. Following their training, Fellows dedicate a Community Action Year to collaborate with local non-profit organizations, enhancing food assistance and access to healthy foods in the region. Applications are welcome until March each year, with the Fellowship experience taking place from May to October.
