Food production and quality is becoming increasingly important globally.

Consumers want foods that are new and exciting, while also being nutritious, safe, tasty, convenient and produced in an environmentally responsible manner. Food companies need to cost-effectively produce foods that meet increasingly diverse market needs. Regulatory agencies insist foods conform to legislation around composition and safety.

The challenge for the food scientist is to blend biology, chemistry, consumer research and nutrition to solve the problems of developing a safe, healthy, sustainable and nutritious food supply for people everywhere.

Food Science is a portable degree. You can find Food Science jobs all over the world.


You can use both creative and technical skills in developing new food products.


Food Science is a very practical application of basic science (Chemistry, Microbiology, Biology) training with a product, consumer and market focus. There's a mix of scientific research, practical application and consumer interaction required to get the job done.
