2024 Fellowship: Food Systems

The social, cultural, economic, and environmental dimensions of food systems and transformation at the national level WWF’s Russell E. Train Education for Nature (EFN) Program invites applications from aspiring and experienced researchers, practitioners, and leaders to pursue graduate-level studies (master’s degree and PhD) geared towards research that cultivates a better understanding of the place-based nature of food systems and transformation.
