Appalachian Sustainable Development
Market Development Specialist
Appalachian Sustainable Development (ASD) is a not-for-profit organization working in the Appalachian region of Virginia and Tennessee, with some programs extending into Appalachian Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. Formed in 1995, ASD’s mission is to build a thriving regional food and agriculture system that creates healthy communities, respects the planet, and cultivates profitable opportunities for Appalachians.
ASD is a long time member of the Central Appalachian Network (CAN), a network of networks working across Central Appalachia to advance connections, capacity, analysis, and shared strategies for economic transition. CAN is a recent recipient of a large 5-year, $42.5 million grant from the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service in support of building the Appalachian Regional Food Business Center (ARFBC). The ARFBC was created to build more resilient food systems across Central Appalachia. The goals of this project include working in all or parts of OH, WV, VA, KY, TN, PA, and MD to build on current work and add resiliency to Appalachian food systems by working with at least 10,000 farms and food businesses over 5 years to:
1) Strengthen infrastructure for aggregation, distribution, and processing;
2) Make local foods more accessible by creating new markets (in small, rural communities, e.g.) and increasing connectivity between rural producers and urban consumers;
3) Build capacity (through sub-awards and direct technical assistance) among small and medium sized farms and food businesses.
The Market Development Specialist (MDS) will be responsible for building small- and mid-level markets for regional agricultural products and supporting producers in accessing those markets. The MDS will work closely with ASD’s Regional Sales and Marketing Manager, the Appalachian Harvest food hub, the Business Development Specialist, as well as a host of community and government partners to provide a comprehensive suite of tools and services to ensure producer and buyer success.
