The AFSFP serves as a premier talent pipeline for entry- to mid-level professionals with a comprehensive understanding not only of food-related science, but also food-related social science \u2013 how humans interact with food, where inequities with food access and security exist, and how they can contribute as professionals to build a safer, healthier, more sustainable and just food system for all.<\/p>\n<p>The program aims to engage undergraduate students interested in pursuing agriculture and food system-related careers and incorporates a multi-faceted suite of training in leadership and professional skills, inclusive science communication and community-led engagement, industry-led training and networking opportunities, and agricultural science and policy practice through intern- and externships.<\/p>\n<a class=\"cl-button block-level  prominent\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/coopext\/afsfp\/\" title=\"\">learn more about AFSFP<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant will support the Rhode Island Agriculture and Food Systems Fellowship Program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[17,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sponsored-research","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10102\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/harrington\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
