New Generation 4 Food&Nutrition Security

The MSc in Food Security Policy and Management at University College Cork, is in its third year. The aim is to help build a cadre of professionals to deal with the complexity of working in the field of food and nutrition security, helping to meet the SDG2 goals of ending famine and hunger, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agri-food systems.

The MSc Team have trained students from a wide range of countries, but most of the demand is from the developing world, nearly all of whom are dependent on the small number of scholarships we have to offer. We are therefore committing to increase the number of graduates we train, and within that to ensure that we at least double the amount of students from developing countries that graduate from the country and to establish a much larger number of scholarships available to students from Least Developed Countries each year.

We have 3 commitments

1. A doubling of the number of graduates trained to combat malnutrition using a multi-sectoral approach by 2025

2. A doubling of the number of developing country students graduating from the Programme by 2025

3. The establishment of at least 5 Programme scholarships for students from Least Developed countries by 2025 and to increase that number by 2030.

In this way we hope to improve our contribution toward building the next generation of food and nutrition experts, particularly in developing and least-developed countries.
