In the agriculture sector, many green jobs are related to water quality testing, water conservation, and water management.
An environmentally friendly method of watering the soil is by using bamboo channels for drip irrigation. It efficiently
uses water without wasting any of it. It is less expensive to construct, and after two to three years, when the bamboo
rots, it can be used as manure in the soil.

solar panel installers, and field technicians are among the jobs in this sector.
5.2.6 Green Jobs in Eco-tourism
As part of eco-tourism, visitors are provided with experiences that help them understand the importance of conserving
natural resources, reducing waste, enhancing the environment, and reducing pollution.
Having a green image helps to improve the public’s perception because visitors feel good about their visit to an
environmentally friendly place. Green jobs in eco-tourism include eco-tour guides and eco-tourism operators.
5.2.7 Green jobs in Building and Construction
Nowadays, there is an increase in energy-efficient houses and buildings. The construction methods and operations
used in building such infrastructure are eco-friendly and the materials used in construction are sustainable. The design
of green buildings combines the use of renewable and non-renewable resources. Developing future green building
initiatives and projects requires developing skill development strategies that include appropriate training.
In order to promote the development of green buildings, skill development is an essential requirement. Green buildings
can only be developed on a large scale if there are enough workers with appropriate skills. Green jobs in this sector
include construction, landscaping, gardening, water management, and maintenance of green components.
