The Monash Master of Food Science and Agribusiness is a forward thinking, interdisciplinary degree. It recognises the urgency to address the future of human food supply in the face of global population and environmental pressures, and the dependence of human welfare and geopolitical stability on food supply adequacy and accessibility. This situation is coupled with the complexity of food production and distribution, as influenced and regulated by industry, government and other sectors. The course integrates the knowledge needed to recognise and address future global challenges in food supply. Central to the course is appreciation of the scale and dependencies of production, processing, distribution and marketing systems with an emphasis on consumer need-driven innovation.
