The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Forest, MS, offers a transformative opportunity for aspiring educators and advocates dedicated to creating a food system that embodies social, environmental, and economic justice. By sponsoring, training, and empowering Fellows, this program provides essential organic food system education without charging tuition, ensuring accessibility for all participants. Throughout the six-month residential experience at the Allegheny Farm Campus, selected Fellows gain hands-on knowledge and skills in diversified crop production, innovative health education, and community gardening. They actively contribute to enhancing food and ecological literacy in educational settings, support local farmers markets, and strengthen community food initiatives. After their fellowship, participants engage in a Community Action Year, partnering with regional non-profit organizations to apply what they've learned and drive meaningful change. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship operating from May to October.
