The Ecology Center, a pioneering nonprofit advancing sustainable food systems and equitable access to healthy food, is seeking a Food and Farming Program Director to lead and grow our local and statewide initiatives, including Market Match, the California Alliance of Farmers’ Markets, and the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets.
In this role, you will provide visionary leadership and strategic direction for programs that touch communities across California. You’ll oversee budgets and grants, guide senior program managers and a talented team, and build strong partnerships with policymakers, community organizations, and movement leaders. Your work will shape policy, expand program impact, and ensure that more people have access to fresh, healthy, local food from California’s innovative small farms.

This is more than a leadership role—it’s an opportunity to make a tangible impact on California’s food system, influence policy, and inspire a team committed to a healthier, resilient, and more equitable future.
