About the Programme Good Nature Agro’s Perennial Program is designed to develop a new generation of commercially successful farmers while strengthening GNA’s future supply chain. The programme provides agricultural professionals with access to land, practical support, and a pathway to build viable farming enterprises. The eight-month internship gives interns the opportunity to learn directly from experienced Perennial Farmers, developing skills required for a potential career in agricultural leadership — including a possible transition to a Field Supervisor role. Each intern will be allocated a small production block to manage, progressively taking on greater responsibility throughout the placement. 1.Farm Production & Agronomy Participate in all stages of crop production, from land preparation and planting through to harvesting and post-harvest handling. Support the Perennial Farmer in implementing recommended agronomic practices and production plans. Conduct routine field observations and identify crop, pest, disease, soil and other production issues. Support crop scouting, data collection and field assessments. Participate in demonstrations and trials of new crops, varieties and production practices. Maintain accurate farm production records including planting, inputs, labour, crop development and harvest data. Learn and apply Good Nature Agro’s quality, production and seed-handling standards. 2.Farm Operations & Labour Management Support the planning and coordination of daily farm activities. Support proper use, storage and maintenance of farm tools, equipment and inputs. Promote safe working practices and compliance with farm health, safety and environmental requirements. 3.Farmer & Extension Skills Observe and support the Perennial Farmer in communicating technical information to farm workers. Develop the ability to explain agronomic practices clearly and practically. This internship is also a pathway toward a Field Supervisor role. 4.Data, Reporting & Technology Capture and maintain accurate field and farm data. Prepare basic farm and field reports under the guidance of the Perennial Farmer. Report field observations, challenges and emerging risks in a timely manner. Develop proficiency in Excel and other tools required for field management and reporting. 5.Commercial & Financial Understanding Develop an understanding of farming as a business rather than only as a production activity. Participate in farm budgeting, cost tracking and production planning. Understand the relationship between yields, input costs, labour costs, quality and profitability. Support monitoring of farm income and expenditure under the guidance of the Perennial Farmer. 6.Learning & Professional Development Participate in training and learning activities through Good Nature University. Maintain a personal learning and development log throughout the eight-month placement. Participate in regular performance reviews with the Perennial Farmer and GNA. Demonstrate progressive improvement in technical knowledge, leadership, communication and problem-solving. Take responsibility for an allocated production block and manage it independently over time. 7.Living and Working on the Farm Maintain professional conduct and discipline at all times. Respect the Perennial Farmer, farm workers, surrounding communities and farm property. Participate actively in the day-to-day running of the farm. Maintain appropriate standards of personal responsibility, hygiene, safety and care of accommodation. Commit to the agreed farm schedule and responsibilities.
