First of its kind in Italy

Food production management is the first undergraduate programme of this kind in Italy, entirely focused on agri-food sustainability and its economic and environmental components.

The programme in a nutshell

The undergraduate degree programme in Food Production Management is the first undergraduate degree  programme of this kind that is taught in English and focuses entirely on the supply chains of dairy, meat, wine, cereals and horticultural products. In particular, the skills acquired can be applied to:

  • the production, quality and hygiene of 'Made in Italy' livestock;
  • processing and conservation techniques for plant and animal products;
  • food safety and legislation;
  • the impact on environmental sustainability;
  • aspects related to the economic valorisation of agri-food products, with particular emphasis on those of Italian tradition, and to the management of enterprises.

Overview

Starting from September 2019, a new undergraduate degree programme in Food Production Management will be introduced.

This new programme, taught entirely in English, aims to teach students the innovative principles and techniques of agriculture, from field to fork, to produce safe, sustainable and high quality food.

In particular, high quality "Made in Italy" products value chains will be used as study cases.

This English-taught programme targets both international students who wish to gain a thorough knowledge and practical experience on the application of the 'Italian model' along the agri-food value chain, and Italian students dedicated to pursuing an international career path commencing from their undergraduate experience.
