Faculty of Land and Food Systems
About the Faculty
The Faculty of Land and Food Systems addresses critical global issues around human health, a sustainable food supply, and land and water resources through research and education.
The importance of healthy and sustainable land and food systems cannot be underestimated. Here in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems (LFS), we are meeting urgent local and global challenges surrounding food safety, resource use and shared environmental resources.
Our researchers are focused on finding viable solutions to pressing global crises and are known worldwide for their innovation and leadership in areas such as dairy, aquaculture and wine research. Whether it's grape and wine yeast genomics or animal welfare, LFS research advances scientific knowledge while providing industry with practical solutions.
Our students are developing the skills to make visible changes, studying real-world issues like obesity, food security and climate change. They are encouraged to direct their own education and bring classroom theories to life through problem-based learning, co-ops, exchange programs, community service learning and new learning technologies.
