Join our board!

Corona virus has highlighted how vunerable our food system is to shocks, and how now more than ever we need to re-localise our food systems and build resilience in the way we do agriculture through agroecological farming methods.  Over the next few months we're planning to employ our Development Coordinator to support more people access land for agroecology.  In the meantime, please join our board!

We are looking for people who are committed to and passionate about agroecological farming.  Ideally, you will have experience of serving on Boards and committees, however we would also be open to accepting applications from those new to sitting on boards. We're looking for people who have excellent communication and collaboration skills, organisational abilities, proactive and enthusiastic, and bring excellent problem-solving skills.  Understanding and experience of governance processes for Community Benefit Societies would be useful.

The expected time commitment would be approximately 8-12 hours per month. We're particularly looking for people to take on the following roles / with relevant experience:

• Secretary - this role is important in supporting the board. You will work with Board members to provide effective management and transparency of our governance arrangements.
• Experience in land transfers from a legal perspective
• Experience in agroecological farming

To express an interest in the role please email contact@scottishfarmlandtrust.org detailing your experience and reasons for wanting to join the board.
