What You’ll Do

• Write two editions per week:
  • One original feature edition focused on a founder, sector, story, or trend.
  • One curated roundup covering weekly agritech news, opportunities, and ecosystem activity.
• Research stories across value chains, countries, and agri-tech sub-sectors (from aquaculture to agribusiness SaaS)
• Interview stakeholders like startup founders, investors, and policymakers
• Write 1–2 LinkedIn posts per edition, summarising and amplifying the content for our audience
• Collaborate with the Editorial Lead and Brand Designer to bring stories to life
