FAS Policy Fellows represent many disciplines - chefs, farmers,
nutritionists, activists, public health professionals, fishers, policy
experts and academics. Together they form an interdisciplinary team of
farmers, academics, educators and activists charged with one mission -
to inform and shape public policy to encourage the expansion of
locally owned and controlled food systems that promote good health and
environmental stewardship.
FAS policy fellows work with the media to help inform and educate
the general public and policy makers on key issues
important to the development of healthy food systems. As
part of their fellowship experience, they attend several meetings each
year. The meetings provide fellows the opportunity to network with
each other, learn about different types of food systems and policies,
and hone their communication skills. Visit the following links to
