Your job

Agroforestry is a sustainable land use practice that is thousands of years old. It combines trees, agricultural crops, and sometimes livestock in an ecologically balanced system. In the tropical rainforests of Latin America, this practice can be traced back to the way of life of Indigenous Peoples who have lived in harmony with the rainforest since time immemorial without over-exploiting it.

If you have experience in sustainable agriculture and enjoy working with communities, you've come to the right place!
On our agroforestry trial area, we test which plants grow best under which conditions - and supply our research and forest guardian station with our own food!
We monitor the growth of the plants in our trial area, but also in the communities, so that we can constantly learn and improve.
Bees, which are extremely important for the pollination of agricultural plants but also for the rainforest, should of course not be missing!
