Overview

The Food Production Management programme offered by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore teaches students how to manage different stages of the agri-food chains. Students learn modern techniques in agriculture, from farming to food production, to ensure safe, sustainable, and high-quality food.

The programme focuses on supply chains for dairy, cured meats, viticulture, cereals, and horticultural products. Special attention is given to high-quality “Made in Italy” products as case studies.

Career Opportunities

The programme equips students with the knowledge and skills to manage different stages of the agri-food chains, including input suppliers, farms, food processors, traders, retailers, and support organisations.

Thanks to the focus on the importance of collaboration across these value chains to improve product quality, sustainability, and market success, graduates will be qualified to enter any working segment of a given agro-food chain in small and medium enterprises, as well as large companies.
