Undergraduate Study - Food Science and Technology
Food technologists need to have an in-depth knowledge of raw foods and how they can be handled, processed and/or packaged to provide consumers with safe, convenient, nutritious end products.
Food is New Zealand’s biggest industry. Food technology is all about using science to 'add value' to commodity foods such as dairy products, meat, fruit, vegetables and grains.
The food industry will always need food technologists.The teaching within Food Science and Technology is founded on problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, with a strong technology and engineering emphasis.
Food technology is very important to the New Zealand economy
- New Zealand’s food industry is worth $34 billion
- The food and beverage industry earns around 50% of New Zealand's export income … and it’s growing!
