About Farm & Food Systems Fellowship
The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Long Beach, MS, is dedicated to fostering a just and sustainable food system by training and empowering committed individuals as advocates and educators. Through this immersive program, selected Fellows engage in a six-month experiential training at Allegheny Farm, where they receive comprehensive education on organic food systems. They gain practical skills to grow and distribute diverse crops, implement innovative health care educational sessions, and maintain community and school gardens. The Fellowship also encourages the integration of food and ecological literacy into educational settings and supports local farmers' markets and direct-to-consumer programs. After their training, Fellows embark on a Community Action Year, collaborating with regional non-profit organizations to advance food assistance initiatives and enhance access to healthy foods. The Fellowship experience is tuition-free, promoting accessibility and enabling passionate individuals to make a tangible impact in their communities. Applications are open until March each year for those looking to join this transformative journey, typically commencing in May and concluding in October.
