A Timely Opportunity – The IATP Food & Society Fellowship

Readers! Allow me to introduce the extremely exciting Food & Society Fellowship program from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.  This program is a fabulous opportunity for creative individuals looking to gain technical and financial support on projects dedicated to food system reform. Pioneering initiatives such as Food Corps and Parent Earth are products of previous fellows. I endeavor to add the School Food Bicycle Tour to this list! My weekend was consumed with drafting responses to the application questions and writing my cover letter. I encourage any of you out there with big ideas for creating a more equitable food system to apply. I, for one, plan to submit my materials promptly.  Cross your fingers for the School Food Tour!

I would love to see some similar stats in the States!
