The Master of Science "Agricultural & Food Data Management" is at the interface between high technology and agriculture & food. This ranges from the processing of data retrieved by connected objects such as drones, satellites, tablets, telephones, data on the behavior of players in a sector, to the management and analysis of massive data for decision support.
By 2020, Big Data will be revolutionizing business, whether in management, R&D or marketing. The rapid development of digital technology is creating a new business for agriculture, and calling for new skills. The aim of the Master of Science is to train Data Scientists for the agricultural and agri-food sectors.
