Master of Science in Food Security
Program Overview
How will we feed ourselves in the future?
This is one of the most important questions faced by the human race. Access to good and healthy food is a basic human right.
However, a rapidly growing population, finite resources, environmental damage, climate change and global inequality make this an incredibly complex issue.
The MSc Food Security addresses these challenges, with a specific focus on the social and economic aspects of food security.
What will I learn?
This MSc provides you with excellent opportunities to tackle world hunger and feed the world in the 21st century.
Through this programme, you will explore issues such as:
- Social demographics
- Diet and nutrition
- The transformation of the food system
- Trade
- Technology and innovation
- Conservation
- Climate change
You will also learn about genetics role in addressing sustainable food production, the importance of orphan crops and the increasing pressures on resources such as water and soil, among other topics.
You will explore how food security has become a critically important issue for societies around the globe. It concerns not only food production systems and supply chains but also development issues such as land tenure, inequality, and the exchange value of commodities.
