The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Easley, SC, is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of leaders committed to creating a food system that values social, environmental, and economic justice. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this transformative program equips Fellows with hands-on training and comprehensive education in organic food systems. By engaging in activities like growing diverse crops, maintaining community gardens, and implementing innovative food literacy programs, participants develop the skills to make a tangible impact. The Fellowship emphasizes accessibility, as no tuition is charged, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to join this vital cause. Over six months, selected Fellows immerse themselves in experiential learning at the Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year in collaboration with regional non-profits, allowing them to apply their knowledge and support local food coalitions and farmers markets. Applications are accepted until March, with the program running from May to October, providing a pathway to advocate for healthier and more equitable food systems.
