Internships in Agronomical Research
& Sustainability Team
Archipelagos’ organic gardens provide a significant portion of the nutritional needs for the research team, supplying high-quality organic produce both at our research bases and on board our boats.
With an annual produce of over 12 tons of organic vegetables and fruits, our organic gardens produce seasonal vegetables, while the >110 fruit trees we planted the previous years last spring have already started to give us their first fruits.
Your Role
The Agronomical Research & Sustainability Team contributes to Archipelagos’ commitment to sustainable food production and ecological conservation through hands-on work in our organic gardens and applied agricultural research.
As part of the team, interns may be involved in:
- Cultivation & Maintenance: Managing and maintaining organic gardens using ecological and sustainable farming practices while supporting the production of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
- Monitoring & Analysis: Monitoring plant growth, assessing soil quality, and observing the presence of plant pathogens to promote healthy crop development.
- Experimental Cultivation: Testing sustainable agricultural practices that improve soil health and increase crop productivity while maintaining organic farming standards.
- Pathogen Control: Researching and evaluating environmentally friendly, non-chemical methods to prevent and manage plant diseases.
- Research & Public Awareness: Conducting literature reviews on the use of chemical pesticides across the Aegean islands to support public awareness initiatives and promote sustainable organic alternatives.
