Located in Sunland Park, NM, the Farm & Food Systems Fellowship is dedicated to cultivating leaders who advocate for a fair and sustainable food system. This unique program offers comprehensive training without tuition fees, ensuring accessibility for all aspiring Fellows. Participants engage in hands-on learning about organic agriculture, community gardening, and innovative health education initiatives, while also supporting local farmers markets and improving food access in their communities. Over six months, Fellows immerse themselves in this experiential program at AMI’s farm campus, followed by a Community Action Year where they apply their skills in collaboration with regional non-profit organizations. By emphasizing food and ecological literacy, our mission is to empower the next generation of advocates for a socially, environmentally, and economically just food system.
