Bachelor of Science

This program will no longer accept new applicants beginning Spring 2024.

Food systems is the study of the food supply chain, which includes production, processing, distribution, and consumption as well as waste. Drivers of the food system include culture, economics, policy, and
marketing, and the collective impact on outcomes including human and environmental health,
food insecurity, and community food security.
The Nutrition and Food Systems degree is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the
complexities of the food system from production to consumption and impact on human health,
as well as challenges faced by the food system to develop sustainable solutions for producing,
processing, delivering, and consuming safe, culturally desirable, nutritious, and economically
and environmentally sustainable food. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is committed
to training emerging leaders who will address grand challenges facing humanity, including
management and preservation of precious and finite natural resources, and finding solutions to
feed over 9 billion people by 2050.
