The 2023 Russell E. Train Fellowships include:
Food is Local Fellowship
EFN invites applications from the current and next generation of researchers and practitioners. To pursue graduate-level studies (master’s and PhDs) geared towards research that cultivates a better understanding of the place-based nature of food system transformation. (Russell E. Train Fellowships 2023)
There is substantial evidence at the global scale of the urgent need for food system transformation. But less attention has been paid to how transformations toward more healthy and sustainable food systems might play out at the national level. This includes an understanding of the social, political, cultural, economic, as well as environmental dimensions of such a transformation in different countries and contexts.
The aim of the fellowship is to support individuals to develop evidence-based, innovative, and interdisciplinary research on food system transformation at the national level to build a better understanding of the country specific actions that need to be taken to transform food systems to improve human health and foster environmental sustainability. This research will catalyze the process of generating an improved understanding of the country-specific nature of food system transformation with a focus on the strategies that will support national and global efforts to create a more sustainable food future.
