The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Yazoo City, MS, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of advocates for equitable food systems. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this program empowers Fellows through immersive, hands-on education in organic farming practices. Participants engage in meaningful projects, from growing diversified crops to mentoring in community gardens and supporting local farmers' markets. With a commitment to social, environmental, and economic justice, the Fellowship is tuition-free to ensure accessibility. Selected Fellows experience six months of residential training followed by a Community Action Year where they apply their skills in collaboration with regional non-profits, promoting food assistance initiatives and ecological literacy. Applications are due in March, with the program running from May to October, offering a transformative experience for those passionate about advancing sustainable food systems.
