The degree program in Environmental and Food Economics offers advanced skills in disciplines related to environmental economics and the agri-food sector. Its aim is to provide in-depth tools and knowledge to promote sustainable economic development, manage natural resources (water, soil, energy sources), guide policy choices in the energy, agricultural, and food sectors, foster innovation in the agri-food sector, support internationalization processes, and ensure food security.

The program spans two years and includes two curricula. The first year, common to both curricula, includes foundational courses for the program?s disciplines (mathematics, statistics, econometrics, law), along with courses in the areas of business (Accounting, Environmental Management), economics (Advanced Microeconomics), and environmental and agri-food economics (Environmental Economics, Trade and Environment, Agri-Food Economics).

In the second year, courses are differentiated according to the chosen curriculum. The curriculum in Economics of Climate and Energy delves into energy markets and policies, sustainable economic growth, and the economics of climate change. The curriculum in Economics and Management of Sustainable Food System, instead, offers specialized courses on sustainable food consumption, global value chain management, food security issues, and rural development.

The program also includes 9 ECTS credits allocated to elective courses.
