More than half of food sold is wasted while 1 in 10 people is food insecure and get sick from contamination. The global food system is in crisis and food scientists are in high demand in government, industry, and research. Explore our graduate programs to participate in exciting research that aims to improve the safety, quality, and sustainability of food production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/foodscience\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/istockphoto-1267681171-170667a-1-240x160.jpg\" alt=\"Graduate Students work in a lab.
