Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Science with Industrial Placement (Software Engineering)

at Newcastle University United Kingdom

Our course provides specialist skills and knowledge about the most important issues related to the sustainability of agricultural production and food security.

This master's in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security is suitable if you have an interest in sustainable agriculture and food security and want to develop a broad knowledge of the subject.

Sustainable agriculture and food security focuses on the availability of food now and in the future. This is a major concern of scientific and commercial communities world-wide.

The prominence of this subject is driven by:

• An increasing global population
• Pressure on non-renewable or scarce resources
• A need to increase food production whilst minimising the impact on the environment

The Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security master's covers all aspects of food security as outlined by Global Food Security. The Global Food Security is a multi-agency programme involving the main UK public sector funders of research and training related to food.
