... where "the focus is on the connection to the products and to food".
The Department of Agriculture, Food, and Nutrition is located on the Triesdorf campus, where it is an integral part of "Bildungszentrum Triesdorf", an educational centre for nutrition, energy, agriculture, food and environment, the only one of its kind in Germany. The centre's close integration with state-of-the-art infrastructure creates valuable synergies that provide many benefits for the applied university programme.
The Department of Agriculture, Food, and Nutrition's range of programmes seeks to build a clear profile in the "Food Value Chain" core area, with Bachelor's degree programmes in Agriculture (since 1971), Foodstuff Management (2008), Nutrition and Food Supply Management (2001) and Agricultural Engineering (2012) and Master's degree programmes in International Agriculture Management (1994) and Regional Management (2004). It aims to prepare high-performing young talent for careers in the agri-food industry, the fourth largest economic sector in Germany based on employment and value creation.
