Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Education and Upskilling in the Agriculture Sector

Professor Frank Monahan:

We are launching a new degree, starting in the 2023-24 term, on sustainable food systems. While food waste and circularity are dealt with in our food science programme at the moment, the new degree programme on sustainable food systems aligns with the Food Vision 2030 document and the plans for Irish agriculture. Food waste will be very much a part of that course. It will also deal with circularity and the efficient and sustainable use of food, and will even include sustainable nutrition.
