The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in West Point, NE, is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of leaders who advocate for a just and sustainable food system. This empowering program offers hands-on training in organic agriculture and community involvement without tuition costs, ensuring accessibility for all aspiring Fellows. Participants engage in diverse initiatives, such as cultivating crops on a market-style farm, conducting educational workshops in innovative healthcare, and managing school and community gardens. The Fellowship also emphasizes food literacy within educational settings and works to enhance access to healthy foods through farmers markets and direct-to-consumer programs. After an immersive six-month residency at AMI's farm campus, Fellows embark on a Community Action Year, collaborating with local non-profits to apply their knowledge practically. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience running from May to October.
