Komaza works to unlock the potential of small-scale farmers to solve Africa's wood supply crisis. Collectively, small farmers possess limitless land and labor resources to plant billions of trees. Komaza provides farmers with support across the forestry value chain, from seedlings to sawmills. With a dramatically lower-cost and more-scalable forestry model, ...
About The Team
Komaza is different from a traditional forestry company. Rather than planting tens of thousands of hectares in one place and managing those trees through technical specialist staff, we plant trees in partnership with geographically dispersed small holder farmers. All aspects of our forestry – from our nursery, to our forestry practices and trainings, to enumeration and data, to harvest, to the tools we use – draw on best practices from traditional forestry but must work for a small scale farmer. The Forestry Innovation team takes the lead on projects as diverse as tree species selection, measuring growth, forestry training for farmers, and the selection or design of farmer-appropriate forestry tools.
About This Role
As Komaza rapidly scales and expands geographically, we will need to develop new forestry methodologies and operational strategies to empower small-holder farmers to grow the best trees as efficiently as possible. As Forestry Associate, you will be at the forefront of our technical partnerships and working closely with our internal Field Operations department to innovate, trial and implement new forestry methods as a pioneer of the disruptive microforestry model.
