Original source description
Plant-for-the-Planet Ghana is hiring a Cocoa Agroforestry Extension Officer for its new site at Tebeso in the Bosome Freho District, Ashanti. The project helps cocoa farmers move to dynamic agroforestry, which mixes cocoa with shade and other trees.

What you would do
Organise and teach farmer field schools on a regular basis, covering shade trees, pruning, fertiliser, disease control and other agroforestry topics.
Attend dynamic agroforestry training, keep up with research and best practice, and pass it on to farmers and cooperative leaders.
Spend time on farms advising on planting, weeding, pruning, shade and disease.
Make simple training materials such as photos, short videos and posters.
Listen to farmers and cooperatives so the programme responds to their needs.
Decide with the nursery team which trees each farmer should get and in what numbers, arrange delivery and help farmers plant them.
Report progress daily in Google Sheets and record tree planting, survival by species, cocoa yields and other farm yields.
Map farms with GPS and the TreeMapper app, share field stories and photos, and join regular online team meetings.
