APPLICATION DEADLINE - February 25, 2004
The Thomas Jefferson Agricultural Institute is pleased to announce a request for applications for the 2004-2005 class of Food and Society Policy Fellows starting January 5, 2004. This is a national program of part-time, one-year professional fellowships offered to improve communications about food and agriculture issues in the U.S. Three classes of fellowship awards have previously been made, with the fourth class of fellows to begin their duties on September 1, 2004.
Fellows use media, scholarship, public education and outreach to promote change in the policies and structures that shape the U.S. food system. With our fourth fellowship class, we are seeking fellows who can develop communication pieces that address the connections between youth, diet, health, and how our food is produced. Within this fellowship theme, examples of relevant topics include farm-to-school programs, community food systems, and the role of food choices in youth obesity.
