Presentation
Provided by l'Institut Agro Montpellier, this three-year program trains future engineers in the fields of agriculture, agri-food, and development to address the challenges of agricultural and food development in France and in the Global South.
List of training courses:
- Innovation, development, and entrepreneurship in the agri-food sector in Mediterranean and tropical regions (IDéAL)
- Markets, Organizations, Qualities, and Services in Support of Agriculture in the South (MOQUAS)
- Resources, agricultural systems, and development (RESAD)
Objectives
The Sustainable Agricultural and Agri-Food Systems Engineer (SAADS) program aims to train high-level executives capable of applying their multidisciplinary, practical, and theoretical skills to serve a wide range of stakeholders (farms, professional organizations, agri-food companies, local authorities, NGOs, etc.) with the aim of optimizing the production and processing of agricultural and food products in tropical and Mediterranean areas while promoting sustainable resource management in environmental and societal terms.
Designed to last three years (Bachelor of Science 3, Master of Science 1 and 2), the program identifies and targets two main types of professional situations, distinct but complementary, in agricultural companies on the one hand and in agri-food processing companies on the other.
The training program enables engineers to be trained so that they can quickly become operational in the field.
