Bachelor of Science (Food Security)

Description of the Programme

The incidence of food insecurity in many countries especially in African remains high. In Kenya, food production shortfalls have been experienced due to a series of drought and/or policy failures. This programme, therefore, has been designed to address the persistent problem of food security in Kenya by training individuals with the requisite knowledge, skills and broad background to think, assess, analyze and propose action on food security. The programme focuses on the food industry in Kenya, Africa and the world with respect to consumer and industrial perspective; human nutritional requirements; sources of food; attributes of food quality; principles of handling, processing and preservation of food; traditional foods and diets; the influence of culture and civilization on food consumption in Kenya; and implications of population growth to the food industry.
