Field fellowship: the field fellowship is activating young people with the tools to launch solutions for our most pressing global challenges: hunger and climate change. Every year we build a cohort of around 10 humanitarian avengers. Each fellow brings a unique perspective, but they all share an unmatched dedication to making the world a better place. Fellows learn from industry experts, cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets, and gain real work experience to support the creation of their own food system innovations. The program was launched in 2023.
