Food and Society Policy Fellows Applications Available
Deadline: February 25, 2004

The Thomas Jefferson Agricultural Institute (<a href="http://www.jeffersoninstitute.org/">http://www.jeffersoninstitute.org/</a>) has announced a request for applications for its 2004-05 class of Food and Society Policy Fellows, a national program offered to improve communications about food and agriculture issues in the U.S.

Food and Society Fellows use media, scholarship, public education, and outreach to promote change in the policies and structures that shape the U.S. food system. For 2004-05, the Institute is seeking fellows who can develop communication pieces that address the connections between youth, diet, health, and food production.

Fellows carry out their activities in their existing workplace or residence and are expected to gain release time from their current job duties. Applicants should be U.S. residents actively involved in a professional career that involves two or more of the following: agriculture, health promotion, youth development, food production, and/or policy analysis. A stipend of $30,000 for one year is provided to cover income support for a 50 percent time commitment to the program.
