Overview

This Sustainable Food Systems MSc program offered at Arizona State University also allows students to spend a week meeting with food producers in Arizona and a week meeting with policymakers in Washington D.C. Students participate in research projects and professional presentations that contribute to food policy knowledge among sustainable food system advocates.

Graduates of the program are able to employ solutions-based thinking and a dynamic systems framework to create the inclusive, diverse and resilient food systems of the future.

Career Opportunities

From the School of Sustainability's 2020 alumni employment survey, 100% of master's degree program graduates are either employed or have gone on to a graduate program. Of those employed, 82% of respondents have jobs directly related to sustainability. Because the sustainable food systems program just launched Fall 2019, the school currently does not have alumni employment data for this specific degree.

Students can use their training in sustainable food systems to advance their career in the food and agriculture sector. Career opportunities include:

chief sustainability officer
director of regulatory affairs
food policy manager
policy director
senior advisor for sustainable food systems
