I was about to send this opportunity to someone, and then just kept thinking of more and more people to send it to who are doing awesome food stuff, and realised it’d be easier to just post it here instead 
@ChrisE from CERES Fair Food is a current social change fellow, so they clearly recognise the value of work such as his - which is a good sign!
