Access to good and healthy food is a basic human right. However, in 2023, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that about 28.9 Percentage of the global population was food insecure. Since 2019, the prevalence of food insecurity has increased globally. Several challenges are generating this complex situation, such as: food access and affordability food availability and utilisation climate shocks finite resources political crises globalisation global shocks as the Covid-19 pandemic cost of living crisis urbanisation global food shortages increasing food prices This MSc programme explores important issues related to food security. It is designed to specifically address the social and economic aspects of food security, such as the intersection of food production, distribution, consumption, agriculture, environment, nutrition-related policies, and human behaviour. There is an increasing demand for qualified experts in this field to contribute to policy creation and legislation in food production. Furthermore, companies need food security experts to assess the Agri-industry by tracing their development strategy to improve food production and distribution in a sustainable way. What will I learn? Our interdisciplinary MSc will provide you with knowledge and problem-solving skills on the broad topic of food security. You will receive training on quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques that will help you to understand and measure the effect of the drivers of food insecurity. In addition, you will learn how to design effective policies to improve people’s food security in developed and developing countries. Through this programme, you will explore issues such as: the transformation of the food system food supply chain diet and nutrition technology and innovation trade food waste conservation circular economy climate change income distribution gender inequality influencing human behaviour You will also learn about the role of genetics in addressing sustainable food production and consumption, the importance of underutilised crops and superfoods 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.
