The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Maryville, TN, nurtures future leaders in sustainable agriculture by empowering individuals to advocate for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. This transformative program offers comprehensive education in organic food systems without any tuition fees, ensuring accessibility for all participants. Throughout a six-month immersive experience at the Allegheny Farm, Fellows engage in hands-on learning that includes growing diversified crops, implementing innovative health education sessions, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food literacy into school curricula. As they develop partnerships with local non-profits, they play a vital role in enhancing access to healthy food, supporting farmers markets, and mentoring the next generation of advocates. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship taking place from May to October.
