Flinchbaugh Food and Agricultural Policy Fellowship
Growing tomorrow's agriculture leaders
The Flinchbaugh Food and Agricultural Policy Fellowship provides a premier leadership opportunity for Kansas undergraduate or graduate students studying an agricultural field to serve the state’s food and agricultural industry and gain valuable public policy experience at both the state and federal levels.
Flinchbaugh Fellows develop a deeper understanding of the legislative and regulatory processes and of how laws and regulations impact the entire food chain – from the farm gate to the consumer and every step in between. While this experience prepares them to enter the workforce serving Kansas's food and agriculture industry, it also enhances their ability to advocate for laws and regulations that enable the entire food and agriculture community in Kansas to thrive and grow.
Our Purpose & Goals
1. To develop students studying agriculture, policy, or related fields to be prepared for careers in the food and agriculture industry.
2. To provide valuable service and support to the agricultural industry and to policymakers.
3. To establish a long-term, sustaining program that develops premier leaders in Kansas agriculture and the industries that support it.
