Food and Society Policy Fellows Program Overview
A national program of professional fellowships, this project supports efforts to enhance communications about food and agriculture issues in the United States.
Food and Society policy fellows are leaders in health, consumer education, sustainable agriculture, local food policy, organic farming, nutrition and aquaculture. Together they work to inform the media and consumers about the connections between healthy diets and the healthy food systems that support them. Such systems encourage farmers and food producers to grow and provide food, when possible, for their local communities in ways that care for environment and generate quality jobs.
The Thomas Jefferson Agricultural Institute administers the program in partnership with the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. Financial support comes from private foundations.
