Senior Consultant - Agri Food Systems H/F

Our ambition

By 2026, our ambition is to become the reference partner for private actors seeking to adapt agricultural and food value chains and the territories that support them to climate, environmental and economic risks.

To achieve this, we are strengthening our consulting team with senior consultants able to lead projects end-to-end, build trusted client relationships and grow both business and people .
