As a Junior Agronomist, you will be on the frontlines of delivering tangible impact to smallholder farmers in our project regions. Your role is to support the adoption of regenerative, sustainable agricultural practices that improve soil health, increase yields, and contribute to ecosystem restoration.
You’ll work closely with farmers in the field—offering technical advice, delivering hands-on training, and guiding them through certification processes. You will also play a key role in ensuring that agronomic activities are aligned with project goals and global standards for environmental integrity.
In this role, you will:
- Provide technical support on agronomic topics such as organic fertilization, soil regeneration, and pest control
- Guide farmers in adopting eco-friendly, regenerative practices through field demonstrations and group trainings
- Support the enrollment of farmers into environmental certification schemes (e.g. Gold Standard, Verra)
- Build strong relationships with local farming communities and cooperatives
- Collect and report field data on practices, inputs, challenges, and outcomes
- Work closely with monitoring and program teams to ensure consistent, high-quality field delivery
This role is ideal for someone passionate about agroecology, who thrives in hands-on environments and believes in empowering farmers as agents of change.
Requirements
We are looking for a dedicated and practical agronomic professional with a field-first mindset and strong communication skills. You enjoy working in rural contexts and know how to connect with farmers in an approachable and respectful way.
You bring:
- A diploma or degree in Agronomy, Agriculture, Agroecology, or a related field
- Hands-on experience supporting smallholder or rural farmers, preferably in developing regions
- Practical knowledge of soil health, agroecological systems, and regenerative farming practices
- Strong interpersonal and training skills—able to explain technical concepts clearly and engagingly
- A proactive, self-motivated work style, with comfort operating in remote field environments
- Bonus: familiarity with sustainability or carbon certification programs (e.g. Gold Standard, Verra)
You’re someone who learns by doing, communicates with empathy, and sees every farm visit as a chance to make a difference.
Benefits
Competitive Compensation & Growth
- A competitive salary that reflects your field expertise and dedication
- Opportunities to grow within a fast-moving international organization committed to long-term impact
- Share in our collective success – all employees receive stock options in our publicly listed company (AEX: DGB)
Tangible Impact
- Make a real difference – help smallholder farmers restore soil, increase yields, and protect biodiversity
- See the results of your work in action – our projects are real, and you're encouraged to visit, engage, and contribute meaningfully on the ground
Field-Focused Flexibility
