If you want to understand and improve how food is produced, processed, distributed and consumed, this programme gives you that broad view.
The food chain from farm to fork
Programmes of this kind usually cover the whole food system: primary production, post-harvest handling, processing, distribution, retail and consumption. You will learn about food safety, nutrition, environmental impact and food policy, and build practical skills in supply chain management, data analysis and project planning. Most graduates go into agribusiness, food manufacturing, quality control, research organisations and development agencies.
