While there are many local and international efforts to protect the Galapagos and its inhabitants (including native peoples), the islands suffer many 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 IncludeMaintain the vegetable seedbedsAssist with seed germination processes and take care of the seed banksConstruct apparatuses and design new permaculture systemsAssist with the maintenance of the garden by weeding, excavating, making compost, pruning, applying natural fertilizers, and moreReforest native or endemic plantsConduct personal research or study:Water use and conservation; new water captation systemsImprovement of soil textureImprovement of soil nutrients (regeneration of soil)Human or natural innovations to control pests such as rats and wild catsSupport the farms marketing and social mediaConduct language tutoring exchanges with staff and community members [English, Spanish]Please note: all information above is subject to change.
