The Second Major in Future Foods (FF) is an expansion of NTU Food Science and Technology (FST) education which aims to strengthen the ongoing FST education partnership with Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and at the same time offer new aspects of food technology and nutrition for sustainable future foods to NTU students.
This second major incorporates relevant courses across all five schools to provide students with the foundation and practical tools for understanding the concepts of food sustainability and applying them to real world scenarios.
The NTU centric second major focuses on sustainable food and nutrition. The compulsory courses are offered by NTU and include Food Chemistry & Nutrition, Future Foods – Introduction to Advanced Meat Alternatives, Food Standard – Food Safety & Risk Assessment, Food Process Technologies and Production System, Data Analytics in Food Systems. Students will have a list of NTU and WUR electives to choose from.
The program will also address broader challenges associated with the sustainability of urban food systems, including urban farming, emerging food sources, supply chain management, and nutrition security.
