Wars and climate change threaten food security. Find out here what degree programmes address this issue.

In order to prevent food crises in future, we need experts in this field. Here you can find courses of study that will make you into one.
Global Food, Nutrition and Health in Bayreuth
In spite of sufficient quantities of food, we have still failed to eliminate malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies worldwide. The master's programme "Global Food, Nutrition and Health" at the University of Bayreuth examines the connection between the production and provision of sufficient and safe food worldwide ("Food"), the social and cultural aspects of nutrition ("Nutrition"), and its impact on health in a global context ("Health"). The programme is taught in English.
