 Jonah integrates urban ecology and systems design to catalyze just and sustainable local food networks. Recently, he has worked with the New Haven Food Policy Council, the New Haven Aquaculture Project, and the Yale Sustainable Food Project. He has presented his research on Local Food Networks as Complex Adaptive Systems at the University of Kentucky, and is co-organizing the inaugural Yale Food Systems Symposium.

He formerly served as Education Director and Perennials Manager at Jewish Farm School, where he designed and built a 3 acre mixed vegetable farm and community orchard, and directed the Anafim Environmental Leadership Fellowship for High School Seniors. He founded and directed the Rare Earth Project, a nonprofit that uses documentary video as a medium of environmental communication, with projects in Portland, Oregon and Khatmandu, Nepal. As a core crew member of the upside-down veggie-oil powered Teva Topsy Turvy Bus, Jonah has led community workshops throughout the east coast on renewable energy and ecological design.

Jonah is a Master of Environmental Science Candidate at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, and he holds a B.A. in both Film and the History of Science from Bard College.
