Internship Nutrition and Health

The Nutrition & Health Intern will support the Nutrition and Health Manager within the Central Sustainability Team. The core roles of the unit are: (1) developing strategies, approaches, and tools that catalyze and support business action toward the achievement of sustainability goals; (2) identifying needs and sustainability risk across the supply chains; (3) monitoring, evaluating, and reporting for impact and (4) facilitating and contributing to internal and external learning, sharing, aligning, and influencing. The unit is composed of subject matter experts in Nutrition & Health, Human Rights & Inclusion, and Livelihoods, as well as experts in data and communications. The team supports businesses to identify sustainability risks and opportunities, and design and implement strategies, policies, sustainability pathways and tools. The team provides tools, guidance and sometimes coordination and program management for businesses to implement approaches and achieve objectives to improve farmers' livelihood and create positive impact on communities and landscapes where we operate. The team also promotes alignment and cross-learnings across business units, participates in global platforms and influences the wider sector agenda, while learning from other experts and stakeholders, and promoting ofi’s reputation.

The Nutrition and Health Intern will support the subject matter expert on tasks related to food security, nutrition, health, and well-being.  This is one of ofi’s high priority areas due to the growing global demand for products and ingredients with increased health and nutritional value, as well as the global call to action for multinational companies to work through multiple pathways (i.e. workforce health and nutrition, nutrition-sensitive livelihoods, marketing, product development, etc.) towards food system transformation.
