Presentation
In France, there is no Masters-level course providing the necessary knowledge and skills in the physiology and post-harvest technology of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The University of Avignon and the CTIFL have joined forces to train managers in the fruit and vegetable sector, with an understanding of the scientific, technical, economic and strategic issues at every stage of the sector:
Production, Shipping, Importing, Post-harvest equipment and products, Retail, Quality, Research and Development, Sales, Marketing.
This work-linked Masters course (Bac+5) specialises in the management of the fruit and vegetable sector.
One of the objectives is to acquire high-level scientific, technical and managerial skills in 2 years of training with a view to professional integration.
The aim of this course is to promote healthy, sustainable food to meet society's new expectations.
It is supported by a unique environment:
- CTIF (Centre Technique de la Filière Fruits et Légumes): specialist in preservation and post-harvest technologies.
- UMR Qualisud (CIRAD - University of Montpellier - Montpellier SupAgro - Avignon University - University of La Réunion)
Joint research units whose activities include post-harvest plant physiology and the development of new conservation technologies
Special features
Area of expertise :
- MARKET GARDEN AND FRUIT PRODUCTION
- POST-HARVEST CONSERVATION & LOSS REDUCTION
- CONTROLLING THE QUALITY OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
- KNOWLEDGE OF SECTORS
- COMPANY MANAGEMENT
Courses
For alternating apprentices (under 30) or those on professionalization contracts, their professional experience as an employee is 16.5 months/2 years.
