Overview
FoodWork.ca serves as a job board for all kinds of work in local and sustainable food — jobs, entrepreneurs, farmers, board positions, interns, managers, partners, volunteers. Positions range from organic farmers to executive directors; from teachers, to researchers, to chefs. It is a jumping off point for learners to discover career opportunities in the sustainable food movement.
While this site serves more as a job board, it offers several useful links for learners interested in career exploration in healthy, accessible, and sustainable food. The site also includes information about volunteer opportunities within the sustainable food industry.
