The Food Systems Fellowship will introduce moral leadership concepts to a globally diverse cohort of 20 food systems builders who are creating more equitable, nourishing, and regenerative food systems.

With leading food systems facilitators, Fellows will participate in a blend of immersive seminars, workshops, and self-directed leadership experiments. The program will combine in-person and virtual learning over the course of the Fellowship year.

After Year 1 of the Fellowship, Food Systems Fellows will join Acumen’s global community of social innovators building a world without poverty and injustice.

While commenting on the new development, Georgina Campbell Flatter said, 

“I can’t wait to begin this journey of moral and systems leadership together with a phenomenal cohort of #systembuilders. What a platform to further our mission at TomorrowNow!”
