Biodynamic Demeter Alliance Seeks Executive Director - Remote

Employment Opportunity: Executive Director of the Biodynamic Demeter Alliance

The Biodynamic Demeter Alliance is excited to open its search for a first-ever Executive Director. This new organization is focused on shaping agriculture and food systems of the future through the biodynamic impulse.

Our Alliance is composed of the Biodynamic Association, formed in 1938 to foster the principles and practices of Biodynamic agriculture in the US, and Demeter USA, initiated in 1985 as the certifying body for biodynamics, as well as a community of those interested in making biodynamics central to the agriculture systems of the future. These initiatives have come together on the premise that all three aspects of biodynamics: Rights, Economy, and Culture, can do more if housed in a single unified organization dedicated to growing the field. Furthermore, forming an alliance between the two strongest and most visible organizations within the movement — the Biodynamic Association and Demeter USA — stands to offer a cohesive, networked association that can facilitate the practical growth and maturation needed to implement systemic change in the US food system and marketplace at large.
