Overview

Through two specialized study paths – FOOD and WINE – students use the Italian production system as a model to identify the specific elements outlining the unique value of products with inextricable historical, social, and cultural ties to their place of origin (terroir). This background couples with the most recent developments in technology, nutrition, food safety, diet and health, and sensory science, core elements of a growing international demand for terroir-related high-value foods.

Career opportunities

Graduate works in public organisations and private companies involved in the production, protection, valorisation, marketing, consulting, training and communication activities for high-quality agro-food products.
