MA Professional Practice: Local Food Advocacy – September 2009 start

This brand new, full-time, fast-track, one year Masters Programme is designed to simultaneously support the sustainable development of local food businesses (particularly in Herefordshire) and train a new generation of local food entrepreneurs.

Students will undertake: placements with three different local Artisan food producers; a two week exchange with Slow Food producers; a one month placement in a public or voluntary sector organisation which promotes local food; and a study tour looking at new innovations in local produce. The Programme is substantially experiential.

It will be delivered by a Herefordshire based sustainable development charity, the Bulmer Foundation, and is validated by the University of Worcestershire. The Local Food Advocacy Programme’s well established sister Programme which focuses on Sustainable Development Advocacy is currently on the short list for a national award.
