About this programme
The Master of Agricultural Information Management (MAI) is a two-year post graduate program requiring a relevant undergraduate degree for entry. This program explores the high level of innovation and technology currently being employed in the agriculture sector. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number two is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that by 2050, global demand for food will rise by 50% compared to the present. Pressure on existing food systems is advancing because of an increasing world population creating the need to approach this problem innovatively. Estimates show that using current and emerging technologies, the overall demand for food will be met, but questions still linger whether it will be in a sustainable manner. Emerging and current technological innovations could be used as a lever to address these challenges and further enable improvements in food systems, productivity, and human welfare.
