Writer for Food Systems Vision Prize Toolkit

San Francisco, CA

Description:


  • Estimated 20 hours / week
  • Timeline: End of July -- Oct 12 
    • (With possibility of extension through February 2020)
  • Supported and conceptualized by The Rockefeller Foundation, the Food System Vision Prize 2050 team is comprised of SecondMuse, OpenIDEO, and the Rockefeller Foundation. 
  • The Food System Vision Prize 2050 is a  first-of-its kind, bold initiative to reimagine the future of our global food system. The Prize will convene and curate networks of individuals and organizations to displace dystopian depictions of our collective future with positive future visions that can inspire the transformation of local, regional, and global food systems. There will be a $1M fund attached to the prize for winning teams, and an accelerator program at the end.
  • This role would involve owning and creating one of the cornerstone assets of this ambitious program: the Vision Prize Toolkit. Rooted in Human-Centered Design, the Prize Toolkit will provide an overview of opportunities and challenges with our food system, and provide pathways to support participants to engage effectively in the Prize. Through outreach and promotion, we expect hundreds of thousands of eyes on this Prize, with this Toolkit being one of the key assets generated and promoted.
  • This Prize will also inform much of the Rockefeller Foundation's ongoing investment strategy, which has the opportunity to positively impact millions of lives in the future.
