Looking for a job in Sustainable Foods?
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.

Position Summary
The Department of Extension‐Family and Community Health invites applications for a full‐time (1.0 FTE),
12‐month, fixed‐term Professional Faculty position. Reappointment is at the discretion of the Dean.
Nutrition Education Program (NEP): NEP consists of two federally funded Extension programs:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP‐Ed, funded by the U.S. Dept. of
Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service) and the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program
(EFNEP, funded by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture). Both programs focus on the
promotion of health through the delivery of community‐based programs to limited‐resource audiences.
The Extension FCH program: FCH faculty and staff offer effective programs to serve Oregonians through
education and community partnerships. FCH focuses on programs that promote healthy communities,
families, and individuals. This is accomplished by faculty, volunteers, paraprofessionals, and support
staff, who organize and conduct educational experiences in group, community, and family settings and
through multimedia. More information is available at the FCH program's Web site:
http://extension.oregonstate.edu/fch/
EFNEP: At present, EFNEP in Oregon is delivered in two counties (Lane and Washington). EFNEP is

changes necessary for nutritionally sound diets, and to contribute to their personal development and
improvement of the total family diet and nutritional well‐being. EFNEP classes include curriculum for
adults and youth in areas including nutrition, food preparation, food storage, and food safety. For over

SNAP‐Ed (OFNP): Oregon's SNAP‐Ed program, also known as the Oregon Family Nutrition Program
(OFNP), aims to improve the likelihood that SNAP‐eligible audiences will make healthy food choices and
