The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Gautier, MS, empowers aspiring advocates for a just food system through comprehensive training and hands-on experience. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship emphasizes social, environmental, and economic justice within the food landscape. Participants embark on a six-month residential program at the Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a dedicated Community Action Year where they implement their learning in partnership with local non-profit organizations. Throughout their journey, Fellows focus on organic food system education, collaborating with community partners to grow and distribute diverse crops, manage school and community gardens, and enhance food literacy. Key initiatives include supporting farmers markets, developing access channels for healthy foods, and mentoring future Fellows. The fellowship experience, which is tuition-free to ensure accessibility, typically runs from May to October, with applications due by March of each year.
