Overview
Food security is concerned with the availability, access, and utilisation of safe, nutritious and sustainable food to all, especially vulnerable groups within society.
Understanding the interconnection of food, health and the environment, as well as their trade-offs, is vital to formulate policies that enable us to achieve food security in a sustainable manner.
Career opportunities
The Global Food Security and Nutrition (Online Learning) programme from The University of Edinburgh is designed to equip graduates with the skills to go on to careers in government and international non-governmental organisations working in a broad range of areas relating to food security.
There are increasing postgraduate research opportunities available in the food security arena, in the UK, EU and internationally.
There are also some positions in the private sector that will be attractive to graduates such as retail, food supply management, or even commodity trading.
