More emphasis is being put on agricultural programming

The University of Saskatchewan (USask) is expanding its agricultural programming for 2023.

Applications are now being accepted for the new Bachelor of Science in Food Industry Management degree.

Students can enter the BSc in Food Industry Management program directly from high school or transfer in from another post-secondary program. 

Classes will begin in September 2023 and will cover food science, agri-food economics, food management practices, and food industry policy.

Dr. Darren Korber, Head of Food and Bioproduct Sciences at USask says students will be able to work in a variety of careers in the agri-food sector from food operations manager, to food policy and regulatory analyst, to food industry entrepreneur to food processor and product development consultant.
