Job role

You’ll research, write, and produce text + video content on horticulture post-harvest practices: grading, sorting, storage, packaging, logistics, and the implications for farmers, aggregators, processors, and retailers. You’ll also develop forward-looking pieces on how the future of food supply chains should be built: what tech is needed, what’s feasible today, and what’s next.

This is a hands-on role: expect field visits, farmer and FPO interviews, and data-driven reports.
