The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, based in Crow Agency, MT, empowers individuals to become advocates for just and sustainable food systems through comprehensive training and hands-on experience. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship provides a unique opportunity for participants to learn about organic food systems without any tuition costs, ensuring accessibility for all. Fellows engage in a variety of impactful activities, including growing and distributing diverse crops, implementing educational health initiatives, and maintaining community gardens. They also work to enhance food literacy in schools and support local farmers markets while developing channels to increase access to healthy foods within their communities. After an intensive six-month Farm and Food Study program at AMI's Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows embark on a Community Action Year, collaborating with regional nonprofits to apply their learnings and drive meaningful change. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience typically running from May to October.
