A little unnatural
@Bioch34 Oh no, sorry that was a typo! I meant to write: "I aim to work towards" as in, "I intend to" etc. Am is definitely wrong there, it's supposed to be aim. Je m'excuse.

I think it's possible to say 'actor' in a way that means 'personne qui joue un rôle déterminant dans un évènement' but it's less common, so it kind of reads like 'actor' as in someone who is in plays/movies. I'd probably say "I am to work towards X" instead. Or write it as "I am to spread information about plants and their growth."

@alademarm i was doubting about the meaning of actor too. but i didn't know that the way you turn your sentence with "i am to" express the aim, is it always the case ?
