Sustainable Food Jobs Website

Most Americans have never heard of the term “sustainable food.” Tell someone its your career focus and be prepared to explain yourself. Rest assured… this site understands what you mean with no elevator speech required! As a recent graduate looking to branch into the world of sustainable food, I had a difficult time knowing where to look for the most up-to-date job opportunities available. Typically, job listings are dispersed among environmental conservation and individual non-profit websites. But what if job seekers new to this and aren’t familiar with all of the non-profits that specialize in sustainable food? That is where this website comes in! It will provide job seekers with the most up-to-date job opportunities available in the domestic sustainable food sector. The site continues to evolve and receive positive response, including recent coverage in the Yale Sustainable Food Project Newsletter. It received over 27,000 hits and 550 Twitter followers within the first two months.

Check it out at sustainablefoodjobs.wordpress.com! Or follow us on Twitter @sustainfoodjobs for daily updates. If you know of any current jobs in sustainable food currently not listed on the website, please feel free to e-mail them this way. Or if you would like your organization listed on the Connect More page, please forward me your contact information. As opposed to general career websites, posting here lets you target specialized brain power. Garner a better qualified applicant pool that shares your values for a better food future in America! Any and all comments are greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
