Course Overview

This course does more than simply describe the fundamental challenges of the many problems of feeding a rapidly growing global population affected by finite resources, uncertainties of climate, political and social change, and a general acknowledgment that our current methods for producing food are not fit for purpose.

The Future Food Sustainability MSc integrates the diverse threads that could present pragmatic and practical answers to imminent global food problems and gives you the tools you need to be part of the solution.

• Study a course designed to respond to urgent industry, institutional and government needs for individuals who can meet the complex, multi-factorial issues of global future food supply.

• Develop your forward and lateral thinking, horizon scanning, and strategic foresight techniques so that you can build and analyze future possible scenarios that could inform policy and decision-making globally.

• Learn from lecturers with extensive, industry-relevant experience in solving real-world challenges.

• Access the combined teaching, expertise, and facilities of two Cranfield University Schools - the School of Water, Energy, and Environment and the School of Management.

• Benefit from course accreditation by the Institution of Agricultural Engineers.

This MSc is supported by our team of professional thought leaders, including Professor Andrew Thompson who is influential in the field of Agrifood and an integral part of this MSc.
