Food - Innovation and Market, 120 credits
What are the challenges in developing new food products? Which are the future desirable food product properties (health, sustainability, fair trade animal welfare)? Why do certain products succeed and others fail ?
Food production, processing and distribution are associated with adding values. The stakeholders in a supply chain, local, national and international actors, face the same challenges in meeting consumer needs. These needs are, for example, related to expectations of production methods, product properties and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
The key program objective is to develop students’ abilities to carry out product and business development in a systematic way and with a global perspective, based on an inter-disciplinary awareness of environment, health and ethics.
