Organic Farming in the Tropical Cloud Forest of Ecuador
March 13, 2025by: Jos PrimProgram: Cloud Forest Wildlife Research Internship in EcuadorI have greatly appreciated the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in small-scale organic farming. The balance between work and play daily and the balance between work and travel weekly was perfect for me. Being surrounded by tropical cloud forest was a dream come true. I learned so much about organic plant and animal agriculture and gained practical skills I can use moving forward working with localized food systems!
