Program Manager: 1000 Landscapes for 1 Billion People Initiative

EcoAgriculture Partners is an international non-profit organization that strives to bring about a world where landscapes are managed to improve rural livelihoods, conserve ecosystems, and sustainably produce food and fiber. The organization does so by providing training, research, policy and finance solutions, and support to farmers, communities, and organizations at the local, national and international levels. EcoAgriculture Partners uses integrated landscape management (ILM) as a widely-applicable strategy for implementing sustainable development to address local and global challenges such as food security, persistent poverty, climate change, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. The 1000 Landscapes initiative intends to build and promote system innovations that empower local landscape partnerships to achieve large-scale landscape transformation.
