The Sustainable Food System degree is for students interested and passionate about the three pillars of Sustainability (environmental, economic, and social) and how they apply to all components of the food chain. This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the entire food chain, from on farm production to human consumption and the scientific principles underpinning it. It will explore the complex challenge of sustainably producing food to meet the nutritional requirements of a growing world population while protecting the planet’s limited natural resources.
Skills to analyse and evaluate the sustainability of food systems will be developed and how to apply knowledge learned to a practical real-world industry setting through engagement with peers, lectures, and professional work experience. Whether interested in farming, food processing, food policy or the environment, this course will provide students with a holistic understanding of the food system in conjunction with the tools to contribute to the future of how we produce, distribute, and consume food in a sustainable way.
