Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment (WNC) is located in Freeport, Maine, and uses its over 600 acres of coastal farmland to connect people of all ages to the food they eat and where it comes from. Through regenerative farming, innovative soil health research, and visitor interactions, this place-based organization is now used as an educational resource to create a healthier planet for all. We hope to inspire active participation in a healthier food system and build a community of people who care deeply about the future of food.

Led by Wolfe’s Neck Center, Open Technology Ecosystem for Agricultural Management (OpenTEAM), is a community of farmers, ranchers, businesses and developers working to increase food system resiliency in the face of climate change. By acting as a convener, technology steward, and facilitator, we are equipping food system leaders with shared knowledge, collaborative frameworks, and open-source, connected technologies to build climate change resilience and thriving communities.

As part of OpenTEAM’s ability to act as a community and technical facilitator, OpenTEAM is expanding support for our network of agricultural organizations to increase engagement as they test OpenTEAM’s technology toolkit, a suite of tools co-created by our technology community. The Hub & Network Tech Coordinator will engage interested and new land-based community partners (called Hubs) and associated farms and ranches as the point-person for these organizations to understand how they could most benefit from the OpenTEAM tech ecosystem. The coordinator will support land-based organizations and networks as they develop projects and explore OpenTEAM’s array of tech tools. They will further support feedback loops to ensure that OpenTEAM’s distributed open source tech community is developing the softwares and hardwares that are needed by land stewards. This position will ultimately play a critical role in expanding our capacity to serve more land-based community partners and the networks they represent.
