Learning objectives

The Food Production Management BSc degree teaches students how to manage different stages of the agri-food chains. Students learn modern techniques in agriculture, from farming to food production, to ensure safe, sustainable, and high-quality food.


The programme focuses on supply chains for dairy, cured meats, viticulture, cereals, and horticultural products. Special attention is given to high-quality “Made in Italy” products as case studies.

Skills gained from the degree can be applied in areas such as:

  • Production, quality control, and sanitation of “Made in Italy” products
  • Techniques for processing and preserving plant and animal products
  • Food safety and regulations
  • Environmental sustainability
  • Economic value and business management of agri-food products, with a focus on Italian traditions

This is the first programme in Italy fully dedicated to agri-food sustainability, including its economic and environmental aspects.

This programme offers a comprehensive education focused on sustainable food production and the management of agri-food systems. Taught at Piacenza campus, the heart of Italy’s ‘Food Valley,’ where Italy’s rich culinary traditions meet cutting-edge research and technology, you’ll benefit from a hands-on learning experience in our state-of-the-art Sensory Lab, where food’s sensory properties are analysed using the latest technology.
