Program Overview Ecosystems is one of four major programs within EDF. The program has bold goals to reach by 2025 that are centered around reversing habitat loss on working lands, building resilient coastal communities, rebalancing water systems and their ability to provide a resilient water supply, and ending agriculture fertilizer pollution. The VP, Ecosystems Working Lands will lead the teams and formulate the strategies associated with creating resilient working lands that benefit people and the planet by improving habitat, reduce impacts on water quality and rebalance management of water supplies, mitigating climate change, and contributing to thriving economies. With a projected 9 billion mouths to feed by mid-century, meeting human needs for food and water in ways that benefit natural systems requires that we sustainably intensify agriculture - grow more on the same (or less) land with techniques that cut pollution and increase biodiversity. EDF’s Working Lands program builds on our credibility as an unconventional but credible partner, working with ranchers, farmers and companies to bring sustainable farming practices and habitat protection to scale; developing better ways to track progress toward environmental outcomes; and aligning public and private financial incentives to reduce the risk for farmers and ranchers who adopt more sustainable and resilient farming systems.  The Working Lands Program has emerged from over a decade’s of work at EDF.

The VP will work closely with EDF’s+Biz program (corporate partnerships) on agriculture initiatives that pertain to the supply chain and with the U.S. and Global Climate programs on climate mitigation and policy. The VP will lead the process in implementing EDF’s agriculture and habitat related projects, and serve as a key strategic partner intertwining sound science, economics, policy, and strategic communications.  The VP identifies opportunities, develops and implements projects, and manages advocacy efforts relating to their program.

And with “300 days of sunshine” each year in Colorado and ample wind on the eastern plains, we have potential to develop and generate clean sources of energy right here. Yet the places we love and the environmental values so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, shortsighted politicians and more. Our growing population gives us opportunities to build and grow sustainable or in a way that hurts our state and our way of life. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action. That’s the idea behind Environment Colorado. Together with thousands of supporters from all walks of life, we take the kind of action that wins tangible results for our environment. Environment America Environment America is a policy and action group with more than two million members and supporters spread across all 50 states.

Working with state offices of the Public Interest Network in 32 states, we have field presence in 21 of the top 25 media markets and 313 Congressional Districts. We use that reach, along with clear strategies, creative tactics, grit and determination to make a difference for our environment and our families’ health.
