Make a difference by studying sustainable production and consumption
We’re exploring sustainable production methods and aiming to minimise waste, but we need to do more – find out how you can make a difference by studying a masters
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals influence our research and your learning
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Every year, one third of all food produced is wasted, partially due to poor harvesting processes.
