Environment and digital skills volunteer

Cur síos

The project promotes economic and environmental sustainability by strengthening farmer incomes, improving food security and nutrition, and increasing resilience to social, economic, and environmental stresses. Volunteers work in resource centres, model farms, and directly with small-scale farmers to support sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation, and income diversification. Activities include soil conservation, reduced pesticide use, soil regeneration, and vertical vegetable gardening as practical responses to food insecurity. The project also strengthens farmers’ digital skills through simple record-keeping, invoicing, and the use of weather forecasting and mobile advisory tools to support better planning and decision-making. In environmental conservation, volunteers support tree planting, nursery management, and seedling distribution with schools, community leaders, and women’s and youth groups, contributing to ecological restoration and stronger local ownership.
