A Programme Focusing on the Transition to Sustainable Food Systems

Join the next generation of gastronomes ready to become active facilitators of change in agrifood systems. Develop knowledge and skills in applying holistic thinking and action learning to food, farming and the environment.

Join communities, visit farms and experience garden activities, lectures and seminars on campus through experiential learning and supervised action research.

Through our systemic, case- and action-based approach that integrates natural and social sciences, you will have the opportunity to develop: 

• An understanding of the ecological, technical, social, economic, cultural and policy dimensions of farming and food systems; 
• A trans-disciplinary profile and competencies based on holistic knowledge and necessary skills to cross the gap between knowing and doing. 

Engage in a New Approach to Learning and Research, through Action

Experience different social settings and cultures and integrate theoretical concepts with first-hand practical experiences in the field.

Develop a critical understanding of food systems by focusing on dialogue, observation, participation, reflection and visioning.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed new strategies that allow us to adjust our study trip offer according to present and potential future measures, always staying true to our experiential study approach.
