About the company:

We are developing our online commodity marketplace which allows farmers to find more sellers and buyers and to identify the best possible deals out there. We are looking forward to giving you access to the Agreena platform, from which we will enable farmers to easily access and identify the best prices on agricultural commodities delivered by both local and international market players. Both farmers and trading houses will be able to post offers in this open cross-border online market place. We hope you will join us on this journey towards a more open market. 

Want to be an instrumental part of helping farmers across Europe to transition into sustainable practices? Join us and you’ll add your talent and imagination to help decarbonize agriculture and build a digital food chain for sustainable produce. Currently we are looking for an aspiring scientist/researcher with experience in organic carbon capture and various quantification methods to join our team in Copenhagen.


As a Climate Scientist you will anchor the scientific dimension of our carbon quantification methods. This includes maintaining an oversight of all existing and leading applicable research in the area, and collaboratively with the methods team translate these insights into the design and calibration of our carbon accounting and quantification methods.
Further, you will build and maintain strong relationships and partnerships with leading Universities and Institutions in this field to jointly build and improve a solid backbone and taxonomy for the decarbonization of agriculture.
