Overview

The Food & Society Policy Fellows Program hopes to catalyze cultural shifts and policy changes through innovative and creative communications toward sustainable food and farming systems that are diverse, just and health promoting.

Food & Society Policy Fellows are leaders in food and agriculture from across the United States. Together they work to impact local, regional, and national policy through communication efforts. Fellows receive communications training and support to enhance their skills in using a variety of communication and media outlets. Each fellow formulates a communications plan which creatively uses frames to impact cultural shifts realizing sustainability challenges and opportunities within our food and agriculture systems. Fellows also receive policy training and support to work on shifting policies toward sustainable food and farming systems that are health promoting for people, communities and the land.
