Master's Degree in Food Law and Agroecology

The goal of the Master’s program in Food Law and Agroecology is to train legal professionals to work in specialized law firms, corporate legal departments, public institutions or government agencies, local governments, and professional organizations that are either involved in or interested in food law.
This degree program offers students the opportunity to gain comprehensive training on current topics and challenges, as well as on the full range of relevant areas of law (public law, private law, and European law).
In terms of subject matter, students will be trained in the issues facing the agri-food sector as a whole—from primary production to distribution, including quality control and food processing—from national, European, and international perspectives.
Courses will be taught by academics specializing in these subjects, as well as by professionals (DIRECCTE, attorneys, judges, corporate general counsel, representatives from relevant ministries, members of associations, etc.), particularly in the Master 2 program.

 The Master’s program in Food Law and Agroecology Law is a pioneering program—the only one that provides training in food law across its full spectrum: while food must nourish people without harming their health or safety, contemporary positive law has in fact recently expanded its scope to include environmental protection and regional development. Beyond the fundamental issues of compliance and food safety, the conditions under which food is produced and distributed thus influence landscapes, the economic fabric of regions, and our shared heritage.
