Summary of Project Idea: 

The director of sustainability in PepsiCo's Beijing office is interested in having SNRE students to work on sustainability.  This could develop into more than one project; areas may include supply chain, agriculture/water, policy, and NGO partnerships.

DESCRIPTION:

The project scope is currently undefined because there is a lot of opportunity to work in various areas of interest to SNRE students.  To further brainstorm with my contact, she has requested that we provide detailed information of the "offering" of the Master's Projects, which is what students can bring to the table.  This is for those seriously interested in a China-based Master's Project.  Projects could be with either PepsiCo, Conservation International, or Business for Social Responsibility.  

SNRE Program Areas: 
Aquatic Sciences
Terrestrial Ecosystems
Environmental Policy and Planning
Behavior, Education, and Communication
