Join the team! EFAO is seeking an outgoing, collaborative and detail-oriented program manager with research experience to join the staff team as Small Grains Program Manager.
As a collaborator on the Living Lab – Ontario initiative, the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO) is one of 10 partners who will facilitate on-farm research trials focused on reduced tillage and continuous cover. EFAO will support two trials, one in organic field crop production and one in organic vegetable production.
