Farm & Food Systems Fellowship
Allegheny Mountain Institute (AMI) Lisbon, ME
About Farm & Food Systems Fellowship
The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Lisbon, ME, is dedicated to cultivating a just and sustainable food system by empowering fellows to become advocates for environmental, social, and economic equity in agriculture. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship offers an unparalleled opportunity for individuals to engage in hands-on training focused on organic food systems, without the burden of tuition, ensuring accessibility for all. Throughout a six-month immersive experience at the picturesque Allegheny Farm Campus, fellows gain practical skills in crop cultivation and distribution, educational community programs, and ecological literacy integration within schools. Following this, fellows embark on a Community Action Year, where they apply their knowledge through partnerships with local non-profit organizations, fostering initiatives like school gardens, farmers' markets, and enhanced access to healthy foods. Ideal candidates are encouraged to complete their applications by March for the upcoming program that typically runs from May to October, joining a movement towards equitable food systems in their communities.
