Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
At Living Roots, we regenerate agriculture by restoring soil biology and empowering farmers with sustainable, biological solutions that heal the land and increase yields. One of Southeast Asia’s most urgent challenges is crop burning, a practice that worsens climate change, degrades soil, and harms public health.
We’re looking for a bold, mission-driven leader to join us as Head of No Crop Burning, a strategic, field-forward role focused on eliminating crop burning by replacing it with regenerative alternatives. You’ll work directly with farmers, businesses, and governments to drive change through education, innovation, and biological solutions that work in the real world.
Tasks
As Head of No Crop Burning, you will:
- Lead farmer outreach programs to reduce burning by introducing regenerative residue management practices.
- Work closely with our agronomy and product teams to develop and scale biological solutions—such as microbial blends that break down straw or corn stalks directly in the field, turning waste into fertility.
- Design and execute large-scale, multi-stakeholder campaigns across crop cycles and regional contexts.
- Build strong partnerships with agribusinesses, mills, buyers, and local governments to align incentives toward no-burn practices.
- Represent Living Roots in conferences, field days, and public speaking engagements.
- Oversee trials and data collection to measure outcomes on yield, soil health, and air quality.
- Support grant writing, climate funding applications, and reporting to scale no-burn programs.
