Their work centers on neem tree plantations to restore degraded lands generate high-quality carbon credits and deliver co-benefits like biodiversity enhancement and community development.

Core Values

Sustainability Long-term commitment to restoring ecosystems and addressing climate change.

Integrity & Transparency Ensuring credibility through VCS validation verified practices and ethical operations.

Community Empowerment Creating social and economic benefits for local communities.

Biodiversity & Stewardship Protecting and enhancing natural ecosystems and wildlife.

Innovation & Impact Using science-based scalable reforestation methods to maximize climate and social impact.

Collaboration Partnering with stakeholders governments and communities to achieve shared goals.

Tasks

As Farm Manager you are fully responsible for all aspects of running the farm. All personnel on site report to you directly or via supervisors.

Your responsibility covers:

• Daily operations in all functional areas:
  Building and enforcing clear processes and a culture of continuous improvement
  Initiating and supporting scientific experiments to develop new state-of-the-art agricultural and processing methods
  Ensuring the farm fulfills its operational financial environmental and social objectives

You live on the farm in the Chaco and work closely with both the local team in Paraguay and the core team in Munich.

Requirements

Overall Leadership & Farm Operations:
Full operational responsibility for all farm activities and approx. 100 employees.
Plan and steer daily operations across cattle neem infrastructure and support functions.
Ensure safe reliable and efficient farm operations while delivering on operational financial environmental and social targets.

Production & Infrastructure Management
Oversee the complete production chain: cattle raising grazing (incl. Ultra High Density Rotational Grazing) feeding and animal health.
Manage the neem value chain: greenhouse operations large-scale planting tree care harvesting and processing into powder and oil.
Safeguard critical farm infrastructure: water systems (wells desalination reservoirs) energy systems (solar battery generators) facilities (housing canteen school) workshops machinery and IT/communication systems.

Process Design & Continuous Improvement
Develop and implement clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across all functions.
Ensure SOPs are understood and consistently followed.
Identify operational gaps and inefficiencies drive corrective actions and build a culture of accountability learning and continuous improvement through training coaching and systematic follow-up.

A highly invested self-sufficient infrastructure (energy systems water management IT & connectivity) that provides a strong operational foundation.
Significant personal and professional development opportunities in an international science-focused environment.
The chance to create real environmental and social impact from carbon sequestration and biodiversity enhancement to local employment and education.

Lead one of the worlds most advanced regenerative grazing and reforestation farms an 18000-hectare regenerative agriculture project in the Gran Chaco region of Paraguay.
The farm operates two major businesses:

A 12000-head cattle operation using Ultra High Density Rotational Grazing (Johann Zietsman system) one of the worlds most advanced regenerative grazing methods.
A rapidly expanding Neem plantation (currently 200000 trees growing towithin five years) including harvesting and processing leaves and fruits into powder and oil.
