Overview
The course trains students to develop knowledge and skills related to the development of innovative sustainable agrofood chains in the current context of economic, demographic, food and ecological transitions.
The Agrofood Chain program at Toulouse INP and ENSFEA is articulated around three core disciplines: agronomy, economics and ecology. In order for our graduates to acquire a global and comprehensive vision of the existing agrofood chains.
These core disciplines are completed by other disciplines, such as plant and animal genetics, biotechnology, product quality, food safety, nutrition and marketing. The main originality and strength of this program are built upon a multidisciplinary systemic approach and learning-by-doing pedagogy, which consists in the integration of all these different disciplines in real-life case studies and tutored projects run individually or by groups.
