Job description

Overview

FAO Remote Consultancy Opportunities – Apply Without Borders. Are you a highly skilled professional with expertise in agriculture, food security, or a related field? The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is offering numerous remote consultancy opportunities for qualified individuals from around the world. These paid positions, often referred to as “home-based” or “remote” roles, allow you to contribute to FAO’s vital mission of ending hunger and promoting sustainable agriculture without having to relocate. This is your chance to apply your specialized knowledge to real-world challenges, support transformative projects, and help build a world where everyone has access to safe, nutritious food.

Responsibilities

The tasks for a remote consultancy role are project-specific and highly varied. A consultant might be tasked with :

  • Conducting research and providing expert analysis on a specific agricultural or public health issue.
  • Developing software services and digital tools for managing agricultural data.
  • Writing reports, policy recommendations, or training materials.
  • Providing technical support for projects on sustainable land management or fisheries.
  • Coordinating with country offices and stakeholders on project implementation.

Qualifications

  • Education and Certification : A university degree is a minimum requirement. An advanced university degree (Master’s or PhD) in a relevant field such as agriculture, economics, data science, or public health is often required for these specialized roles.
  • Experience : Consultants are typically required to have a minimum of 3 to 5 years or more of relevant professional experience. This is a crucial criterion for these expert-level positions.
  • Language Skills : A strong working knowledge of one of the FAO’s official languages (English, French, or Spanish) is mandatory.
  • Additional Information

  • Compensation : FAO remote consultancy roles are paid positions, with a salary or daily rate determined by the specific contract and the consultant’s level of experience.
  • Location : These are fully remote roles, meaning you can work from anywhere in the world. However, some positions may require occasional travel.
  • Application Process : All applications for FAO vacancies, including remote consultancies, must be submitted through their official careers portal. You must create a candidate profile, which serves as your “master copy,” and then apply to specific job postings. You must also attach a letter of motivation. The application deadlines for remote positions vary, with some closing as early as August 15, 2025 . It’s crucial to check the portal regularly for new opportunities.
