We facilitate research projects among our community-who farm at diverse scales and employ a vast array of strategies-that measure the dimensions of sustainability they care about: the health of their soils, the nutrient-density of their products, and the financial viability of their farm businesses. Measuring these sustainability indicators allows for the establishment of benchmarks for what’s typical-and what’s possible\nPosition overview: Do you have a background in farm production experience and also love data and spreadsheets? We are seeking a Farm Data and Coordination Intern to support key areas within our Soil Health Benchmark Study.
