Comprehensive management of an agri-food industry represents a huge competitive advantage as it allows: opening new commercial channels, increasing sales, improving consumer confidence, selling innovative products, avoiding food alerts and crises, minimising impacts, improving production costs, etc.

The food industry is the sector that contributes the most to the gross domestic product in Spain. On the other hand, the way of life of today's society demands varied foods that are easy to acquire and prepare and have a long shelf life. This requires the training of highly qualified professionals in the sector, who must be able to innovate processes and products combining the different aspects that contribute to the success of a food in the market, such as its quality and safety, its benefits for the health of the consumers and, also, its economic viability.

The next programme's intake will be September 2026.
