Climate change, food insecurity, and environmental concerns are complex agricultural and food systems challenges impacting farmers and communities globally and here in North Carolina. These sustainability challenges require multidisciplinary and new approaches across our whole food system from the farm gate to plate. Join us to learn about the agroecology and sustainable food and agricultural systems research, education, and extension programs through the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS), a 30-year partnership with NC State University, NCA&T University and the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. We will also share opportunities to engage with CEFS, including career path opportunities in agroecology.
