Meet the 2024 Food Leaders Fellows
Food & Society at the Aspen Institute Announces 2024 Food Leaders Fellows
The Food Leaders Fellowship at the Aspen Institute grew today with its third cohort of 18 new fellows. Among them is an ocean activist who helped start a sustainable craft seafood cannery and the founder of an organization that is bridging the gap between Black farmers and the marketplace. These are just a few of the civic, business, and nonprofit leaders who are all dedicated to changing the food system to eradicate food and nutritional insecurity, support food entrepreneurs and farmers, and push forward sustainable solutions.
Food Leaders Fellowship
Food & Society’s Food Leaders Fellowship unites the country’s most promising early-stage food system leaders to ignite personal transformation, cross-sector collaboration, and scalable change. Drawing on the Aspen Institute’s history of successful leadership and policy fellowships, the Food Leaders Fellowship is becoming the foremost community of emerging leaders working to create a fair, sustainable, and healthy food system.
Launched with an inaugural cohort in 2022, the Food Leaders Fellowship motivates fellows to support and challenge each other to think bigger, increase their individual and group capacity for change, and find new collaborators to work with toward lasting impact.
