FIELD Fellowship
what is farmlink's
field fellowship
The greatest challenge of our generation is how we will feed 10 billion people in a rapidly changing climate. While Farmlink addresses this by redirecting surplus food from farms to food banks, solving this global issue will require countless other innovative solutions to create a sustainable and equitable food system. The FIELD fellowship catalyzes the next generation of ambitious leaders through solution development during the program and sets fellows up for impactful future careers.

Real-world impact
Who is this for?
We select a small cohort of outstanding students from diverse backgrounds who are motivated to create change in the food system. No experience in sustainability or food systems is required. We prioritize action-oriented students who are motivated to make the world a better place. Our program is designed for students pursuing an undergraduate degree, however, people who are one year out of college or are pursuing a graduate degree are welcome to apply. This internship is not open to high school students.
Stipend
Given the full time and in-person demands of Phase 2, The Farmlink Project offers a meaningful living stipend and covers travel cost to and from the immersion destination. If participating in FIELD for 10-15 hours a week would displace time you would spend working a paid job to support yourself or others, we offer an additional need-based stipend. We want everyone regardless of their financial situation to be able to take advantage of all this fellowship has to offer.

The FIELD Tour
Every summer, FIELD fellows work on the ground with farmers, food banks, food rescuers, climate startups, and community distributors across the country to learn by doing and collaborate on food system solutions. Farmlinkers go on site visits to work alongside the fellows, met with their partners, and engaged with the communities they are serving.
This tour is brought to life by the support of our partner, Planet Home Lending!
