About the programme

Our present-day food system is under pressure. To guarantee the availability of sufficient, sustainable and healthy food in a healthy living environment in the long term, the transition to a new, climate-neutral and circular food system is required. For this transition, we need bridge-builders: leaders who can think and act systemically and work across various fields of expertise, to promote creative solutions. How can we contribute to healthy and sustainable food production and consumption? How do we design future-proof solutions? What are sustainable business models and how do you implement them? How do we involve different stakeholders in the solution for a societal challenge? If these questions spark your creativity and drive to make a difference, Food Systems Innovation is the master’s programme for you!
