John Reid Fellowship

GrAiNZ, in partnership with the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA), is launching the inaugural John Reid Fellowship with the aim of continuing the John’s legacy in activating the local grain movement, connecting communities through real food and empowering young and emerging leaders in the food sovereignty space. 

Applications are now open via the AFSA website, where you can also find details of the criteria and selection process.

The Fellowship provides funds for recipient/s to undertake or continue a project that meets these aims. The fund for the inaugural Fellowship sits at $8,000; this amount may be awarded to one project, or disbursed between more. 

Recipients will receive the support of GrAiNZ and AFSA in connecting with others in the space, as well as mentorship and guidance throughout the project. Recipients will be asked to present on their projects at the next GrAiNZ gathering.

If you have a project in mind, you are strongly encouraged to apply. If you know someone who may be eligible, please share the Fellowship with them. We would love to support the innovators in our community, as well as discover new people and projects so that we can continue to strengthen our networks.
