AGROFLOAT 4.0 aims to develop and validate an innovative modular floating platform for hydroponic vegetable production. The system will produce celery, leek, lettuce and tomato seedlings, as well as marketable lettuce. It integrates two-level cultivation, closed-loop irrigation, renewable energy, LED lighting and intelligent monitoring to optimize resource use, reduce production costs and enable sustainable farming on inland waters.

Join us in Poland and become part of AGROFLOAT 4.0, an innovative agricultural research and development project exploring the future of sustainable food production.
Our goal is to develop and test modular floating farming platforms that allow vegetables to be grown directly on lakes and other inland water bodies without occupying traditional agricultural land.
The project combines hydroponics, renewable energy, smart farming technologies, automated irrigation and environmental monitoring to explore new approaches to food production.
We are developing a two-level cultivation system designed for growing celery root, leek, lettuce and tomato seedlings, as well as fresh lettuce for harvest. The floating platforms will integrate solar energy, LED grow lights, water recycling systems and intelligent sensors to monitor plant growth and growing conditions.
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to discover how innovative agricultural technologies are developed and tested in practice.
Depending on the current stage of the project, activities may include:
- Helping with vegetable seedlings, planting and general plant care.
- Learning about hydroponic cultivation and closed-loop irrigation systems.
- Supporting the preparation and maintenance of experimental growing areas.
- Assisting with basic observations of plant growth and environmental conditions.
- Discovering how solar energy and automation can support sustainable agriculture.
- Participating in everyday farm activities and exchanging ideas about ecological food production.
- Cleaning the pond
No previous experience in agricultural technology is required. Curiosity, enthusiasm, reliability and a willingness to learn are the most important qualities.
Welcome to AGROFLOAT 4.0! We are happy to invite international volunteers to join our innovative sustainable agriculture project in Poland.
Our goal is to create a friendly, respectful and inspiring environment where everyone can learn, exchange ideas and contribute to the development of new agricultural technologies.
To make your stay enjoyable and safe, please follow a few simple rules.
1. Respect & Positive Attitude
We value kindness, honesty, open communication and mutual respect. Volunteers from different countries, cultures and backgrounds are welcome. Discrimination, harassment and aggressive behaviour are not tolerated.
2. Responsibility & Teamwork
Please be punctual, reliable and willing to participate in the activities agreed upon before your arrival. If you are unsure how to perform a task, just ask. We believe teamwork and communication are essential.
3. Safety First
AGROFLOAT 4.0 involves agricultural equipment, water, electrical systems and experimental technologies.
Always follow safety instructions.
Do not operate machinery, pumps, electrical systems or experimental equipment without permission and appropriate training.
Do not enter floating platforms, boats or restricted technical areas without supervision or authorization.
Report any damage, equipment malfunction or unsafe situation immediately.
4. Care for Nature & Sustainability
We respect the environment and aim to minimize waste, conserve water and use resources responsibly. Please keep the farm and surrounding natural areas clean. Never release fertilizers, chemicals or other substances into the lake or nearby waterways.
5. Daily Activities & Working Hours
Volunteer activities and schedules will be agreed upon in advance, in accordance with the conditions of the Worldpackers arrang
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
