The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Johnson City, TN, champions a just and sustainable food system by empowering passionate individuals to become educators and advocates for ecological and community health. This fellowship, facilitated by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, offers a tuition-free program that provides hands-on training in organic farming, food systems education, and community collaboration. Fellows engage directly in initiatives such as growing and distributing diverse crops, maintaining community gardens, and promoting food and ecological literacy in schools. By supporting local farmers markets and crafting strategies to increase access to healthy foods, the Fellowship emphasizes practical solutions that drive community transformation. Participants in this transformative six-month program gain invaluable experience on the Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year where they implement their training with regional non-profits. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact and foster a healthier, more equitable food network in the community.
