Food systems need to be transformed to be fit for the future. People are increasingly conscious of the environmental and social impacts of their food choices.

By supporting this team, you will be exposed to a wide and diverse range of agricultural sustainability topics within agronomy including animal and people welfare and the environment. Your main mission is to support the implementation of some of the Regenerative Agriculture initiatives under the supervision of the Regenerative Agriculture program Director and the Sustainability Project Manager.
So, what will be your key responsibilities?
- Support the deployment of Danone Regenerative agriculture roadmaps by collecting, analysing and reporting results from Danone assessments and on-farm projects (including CO2 footprint, Regenerative agriculture score, Animal welfare score, feed autonomy, economics, etc.)
- Support with identifying, reviewing and summarising scientific and technical litterature and case studies relevant to regenerative agriculture
- Support the team in organizing webinars and drafting communication materials to valorise these projects internally and externally (e.g. Upskilling program, Regenerative agriculture knowledge center)
