Description of Work | Overview This position is based in Omaha, NE, with statewide accountability and a primary focus on Douglas, Sarpy, and Lancaster Counties. The subject matter focus for this extension professional is Urban Agriculture and Local Food Systems. The primary responsibility is to develop, provide, and deliver impactful educational programs and resources as a Nebraska Extension educator. This educator is expected to interact closely with colleagues, clientele, institutions, and organizations working in communities to deliver programs in their assigned geographic area as well as statewide based on the intentions of the programming team. The Horticulture, Landscape, and Environmental Systems (HLES) extension professional will contribute to the integrated (extension, research, and teaching) land-grant mission of the home unit and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR) as an effective scholar and citizen. HLES engages and educates Nebraskans, including home gardeners, commercial fruit and vegetable growers, partner organizations, youth, and stakeholders that impact communities and sustainably manage community spaces to grow safe, nutritious food, stimulate the local food economy, and support local producers and food systems.
