An Arkansas Food Systems Fellowship, launching this September, will build upon the existing assets within the Arkansan local food movement and equip leaders with the resources, relationships, and coordinating support needed to effectively realize state-wide transformational food systems change. The five-month-long fellowship will support a cohort of 24 primarily Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Arkansan leaders to deeply understand the context and systems they are working in, and provide the tools needed to shift those systems.
Years Active: 2024
Support for this project is provided by the Arkansas Community Foundation and the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.
