Sarah Skinker

Sarah comes from a background in urban agriculture and community food systems. She holds a B.S. in Landscape Architecture with a minor in Agricultural Systems and the Environment from UC Davis, where she interned on the Market Farm and worked in entomology and plant biology labs. Prior to joining MRCD, her urban agriculture work centered around edible landscaping and orchard management, urban food access, and rooftop farm development. In her work with Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp., Sarah led the design and implementation of 7 expansive rooftop farms as a strategy to address the Tenderloin’s critical food security gap. Previously Sarah served on the board of Slow Food San Francisco, inviting urban agriculture into broader food system conversations. She is thrilled to collaborate with farmers and ranchers on a larger scale, supporting land stewardship strategies that directly address climate change while serving their local communities.
