The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Aberdeen, SD, is dedicated to empowering individuals to advocate for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. This transformative program offers participants comprehensive training in organic food systems, ensuring accessibility by waiving tuition fees. Fellows engage in hands-on experiences at Allegheny Farm, focusing on actions that promote community well-being, such as growing and distributing diversified crops, implementing innovative health care education, and enhancing food and ecological literacy in schools. Throughout their six-month residency followed by a Community Action Year, selected Fellows collaborate with regional non-profits to foster greater access to healthy foods, support farmers markets, and mentor future cohorts, making a meaningful impact on local food systems.
