IntroductionThe Galapagos Islands are one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, home to one-of-a-kind species such as Galapagos penguins and giant tortoises. The islands face challenges such as a lack of food security, a reliance on imports, invasive species consuming local resources, and a lack of seed-saving practices for native species.
This internship is an opportunity to collaborate with a farm that has been researching how to achieve autonomous, resilient, chemical-free, regenerative, and profitable agriculture in the Galapagos islands. The farm is also an agro-ecology school and arguably the founder of the first local seed bank (of edible species) in the Galapagos.
Some Potential Activities Include- Maintain the vegetable seedbeds
- Assist with seed germination processes and take care of the seed banks
- Construct apparatuses and design new permaculture systems
- Assist with the maintenance of the garden by weeding, excavating, making compost, pruning, applying natural fertilizers, and more
- Reforest native or endemic plants
- Conduct personal research or study:
- Water use and conservation; new water captation systems
- Improvement of soil texture
- Improvement of soil nutrients (regeneration of soil)
- Human or natural innovations to control pests such as rats and wild cats
- Support the farms marketing and social media
- Conduct language tutoring exchanges with staff and community members [English, Spanish]
