Sustainable Food Systems Analyst
Sustainable food systems analysts consult to businesses, nonprofits, and public-sector organizations on how to improve their sustainability, profitability, and transparency in the food industry. They apply principles of environmental economics, nutrition science, and supply chain management to their work, proposing solutions that promote both economic growth and environmental conservation.
Many sustainable food systems analysts begin their careers working with food manufacturers or major food retailers, tracking the production and delivery of food products and researching ways to reduce waste and improve the company’s public image. With the growing prominence of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting, more companies and investors are seeking the guidance of sustainable food systems analysts.
