Overview

The Science and Engineering for Food and Bioproducts programme offered by AgroParisTech - Institut des Sciences et Industries du Vivant et de l'Environnement addresses the use of agricultural resources through processing, with an emphasis on human food while also expanding into non-food applications such as cosmetics, biomolecules, materials, and energy. It explores raw materials, transformation processes, and the characterization of bio-product functions, alongside the industrial transformation of agro-resources and the factors that ensure consistent product quality. Its activities are aligned with major societal challenges related to the transition toward a sustainable bioeconomy, including the development of competitive agri-food systems and biorefineries.

Key Features

The programme prepares students across engineering, master’s, postgraduate, and doctoral levels for careers in agro-processing and related sectors by integrating education with research activities and collaborations within Joint Research Units. It contributes to innovation and economic growth by focusing on sustainable production, distribution, and consumption of food, as well as the optimization of biomass and waste conversion. Teaching is supported through structured curricula, interdisciplinary modules, and opportunities that encourage specialization, research engagement, and tailored professional pathways.
