Young Agrarians (YA), in partnership with FarmFolk CityFolk, is focused on networking young ecological farmers and supporting the next generation to take up food production and farming. Our key areas of program development are: community building through on-going events on farms and young farmer mixers, communications development (website and social media), land access through land linking and knowledge transfer through peer networks and mentorship.

We are looking for a dynamic individual who can take a leadership role within a conentrated timeline. Your role will be to develop and implement a communications plan to aunch youngagrarians.org, our interactive Resource Map and Land Access Guide. The online Resource Map is focused on pulling together information and projects relevant to new entrants into agro-ecology: education, infrastructure, apprenticeships, jobs, land, organizations, farms and more. The Land Access Guide leads the reader through a process of assessing whether they are ready to start a farm business, what the options are for land access, how to assess land for agricultural suitability, how to negotatiate a land access greement and more. Young Agrarians will coordinate our first land linking events in the Fall in three BC farm communities and will need support to promote and outreach for these events.
