Syllabus: This unit will explore the challenges of creating agricultural products suitable for food. Many agricultural products for food use (e.g. grains) are segregated into classes, each of which has a particular quality, end use, target market and production system. We will study production systems for food of plant and animal origin i.e. cereals, grain legumes, oil seeds, fruit and vegetables, dairy and meat; the production of food ingredients from plant and animal sources and their properties and applications in food processing and functional and nutriceutical foods and the role of new genetic improvement technologies to develop foods of greater value for human health.
