Introduction

From a global perspective, we are far from being able to supply all people with food in such a way that they can lead an active and healthy life. Nutrient deficiency, malnutrition in its tremendous variety as well as planetary, social, and cultural determinants of health are serious issues and central challenges of the 21st century. These global health problems are primarily not a request to medicine, but rather to the nutrition and health sciences and to the industry and politics implementing them. At the same time, social science, cultural, sociological, and ecological aspects play an important role in the production, trade, and consumption of food. It, therefore, seems imperative to demonstrate the link between the production and supply of sufficient and safe food worldwide ("Food"), between the social and cultural aspects of nutrition (“Nutrition”), and its impact on health (“Health”) in a global context from a scientific and educational point of view.

Why study Global Food, Nutrition, and Health at the University of Bayreuth?

The program's teaching and research are closely linked to the expertise provided by the excellence cluster Africa Multiple and the focus research area of Food and Health Sciences at the University of Bayreuth. Kulmbach is home to many globally operating companies in the food industry, as well as the Max Rubner Institute, the Bavarian Control Authority for Food Safety and Veterinary Science, the State Technical College for Food Technology, and Klinikum Kulmbach. All of them are involved in research projects and teaching at the Faculty. In addition, students benefit from the research network in Bayreuth and established global-oriented research cooperations. Here, global and local aspects meet in a special place full of creativity and pioneering spirit.
