An Arkansas Food Systems Fellowship, launching in 2023, will build upon the existing assets within the Arkansan local food movement and equip its leaders with the resources, relationships, and coordinating support needed to effectively realize state-wide transformational food systems change. The 12-month Fellowship will support a cohort of 15 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.
