About the Food Systems Change Fellowship
The Mary Ann Swetland Center for Environmental Health at ǿմý launched the Food Systems Change Fellowship to provide support for local leaders to develop and validate their visions for community-driven food systems change. The Fellowship serves as a “test kitchen” for incubating ideas related to leverage points identified in the Menu of Actions.
The Food Systems Change Fellowship is a project of the Modeling the Future of Food in Your Neighborhood Study at the Swetland Center. The project is supported by grants from the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, National Dairy Council, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland, Saint Luke’s Foundation, and Stephen J. McHale Family Foundation along with matching support from members of the study's Core Modeling Team and our partners at The Ohio State University, John Glenn College of Public Affairs and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
