Announcement Description

CarbonFarm is building a more sustainable and profitable future for farmers by making climate-smart agriculture economically attractive. We focus on rice, one of the world’s largest sources of agricultural methane emissions and freshwater use.

Using AI and satellite imagery, CarbonFarm monitors farming practices and quantifies emissions remotely, bringing transparency and scientific rigour to rice methane mitigation. By combining carbon finance with satellite-based monitoring, we incentivize farmers to adopt more sustainable practices and enable companies and investors to measure impact reliably at scale.

In Cambodia, CarbonFarm is working with Amru Rice on a methane reduction project focused on improved water management in rice cultivation. The project is also supported through EU SWITCH-Asia funding during its initial implementation phase.

We are looking for a senior Government Engagement Consultant to represent CarbonFarm in Cambodia and support government engagement,  and participation in high-level stakeholder relationships.
