Small Farms Resource and Innovation Center (SFRIC) Director

NCAT

Greensboro, NC • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 5 days ago

Job description

Classification Information
Classification Type EHRA
Position Overview
Primary Purpose of Position
The Small Farms Resource and Innovation Center (SFRIC) Director will guide the center to capitalize on opportunities and address challenges by examining pressing issues and trends that affect small farmers in the broader food, agricultural and environmental systems. The position will help the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) integrate its efforts in research, extension, and teaching innovations spanning food, agriculture, and environmental sciences to collaboratively complement and strengthen tailored outreach to socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers (SDFRs). The SFRIC Director will also help CAES expand and elevate its overall outreach that enhances the economy, environment, and well-being of people in North Carolina and beyond through research-based information and education.
The SFRIC Director will work to reduce threats to small farmers' economic viability. The traditional view of the importance of farming and value of agricultural enterprises has shifted in the last decade. What was once seen as a viable and sustainable way to make a living and provide economic impact in communities is no longer a viable option for next generational
farmers. Many of these threats are due to diminishing returns on their investments (cash and assets invested into the operation of their farming enterprises to only break even or potential lose money) and emergence of "big box" e-commerce distributors that have revolutionized how products are sold and delivered.
The SFRIC Director will operate across the college's tripartite mission of teaching, research, and extension while applying full understanding of the ecology of farming and integration across agricultural disciplines and the production spectrum (production-marketing-consumption).
Primary Function of Organizational Unit
