Are you searching for full-time or part-time work in the field of food systems planning? At the start of each month, the APA FOOD Executive Committee will post open job and internship positions on this page. The food policy and food systems job network is often built on relationships and connections. While we will periodically post job opportunities here, we encourage you to sign up for or view the following sites or listservs when job hunting.
