MSc Food Security

MSc Food Security is a Masters program taught at Scotland's Rural College (SRUC), UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

SRUC’s MSc Food Security focuses on the analytical and communication skills needed to contribute to the achievement and sustaining of food security in the 21st century. It includes technical, agronomic, environmental, economic and socio-political factors that influence food security, with theoretical studies supported by practical visits to farms, food banks or food factories.

The programme includes four compulsory courses: Frameworks to assess Food Security; Interrelationships in Food Systems; Sustainability of Food Production; and Data Collection and Analysis for Food Security. Students also complete a field trip (as part of Data Collection and Analysis for Food Security), two optional courses, and a dissertation project that can include fieldwork or be desk-based, plus a study tour.

SRUC states that the MSc Food Security degree is awarded by the University of Edinburgh. The programme highlights careers in food security through an interview with Dr Joyce Luma, Human Resources Director in the World Food Programme.
