Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to share!
Food consumption is deeply rooted in culture and emotion. Eating is a vital need as it is a means of social integration, a source of pleasure and a reflection of convictions and self-image. In addition, everywhere in the world and in Europe, in particular, local agriculture and local food products are linked to communities, habits and know-how. Local, traditional food products and products of origin designation are getting greater attention by many actors (politics, citizens, consumers and tourists). These foods are a gateway to other cultures, people and places.
The Master Food Identity is a multidisciplinary programme. It trains future experts in the agri-food sector –with an international vision of culture, regulation, market analysis and competences- in food processing, authentication, sensory analysis, quality control, marketing strategy and entrepreneurship. The joint MSc programme is designed to develop both technical and commercial skills through a curriculum focusing on local and traditional food products. It takes place in 4 countries (France, Italy, Romania and Greece). The training combines theory with practical experiences gained through applied work in pilot plants, visits to production sites and to retailers. They work on case studies hand in hand with producers and other professionals. This path gives all the essential elements and tools for the successful development of local and traditional food products from the producers to the consumers within the global market context.[wbcr_html_snippet id=”1250″ title=”Display Ads”]
