3 internships with Worldwatch Institute’s Nourishing the Planet project
We are currently looking for interns for the upcoming spring and summer semesters and we would really appreciate it if you passed on this information to your students.
The Nourishing the Planet project assesses the state of agricultural innovations-from cropping methods to irrigation technology to agricultural policy—with an emphasis on sustainability, diversity, and ecosystem health, as well as productivity. The project aims to both inform global efforts to eradicate hunger and raise the profile of these efforts.
Please see below for descriptions of our available internship positions. Interns can work in D.C. or remotely and will be required to commit 15-35 hours a week.
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Danielle
