Master of Food Law and Agroecology

The ambition of the Master's degree in Food Law and Agroecology is to train lawyers to work in specialized law firms, in corporate legal departments, in institutions or public administrations, in local authorities and in professional organizations, competent or interested in food law.
This degree offers students the opportunity to acquire a comprehensive training on the themes and issues at stake, as well as on the scope of the branches of law concerned (public law, private law, European law).
As far as the themes are concerned, students will be trained in the problems of the agri-food sector as a whole, from primary production to distribution, including the phases of quality control and food processing, and from a national, European and international perspective.
The courses will be taught by academics specializing in these subjects, but also by professionals (DIRECCTE, lawyers, magistrates, company legal directors, representatives of the ministries concerned, members of associations, etc.), particularly in the Master's 2 program

 The Master's degree in Food Law and Agroecology Law is a pioneering course, the only one to train in all aspects of food law: while food must be nourishing without endangering human health or safety, contemporary positive law has recently extended its effects to environmental protection and the construction of territories. Beyond the essential questions of conformity or food safety, the conditions of manufacture and distribution of food thus influence landscapes, the economic fabric of territories and the common heritage.
