The Sustainable Food and Bioenergy Systems (SFBS) B.S. degree program is an exciting, innovative interdisciplinary program from Montana State University that promotes the sustainable production, distribution, and consumption of food and bioenergy. You will experience collaborative learning, directed coursework, and hands-on training as you progress through one of four program options:

Sustainable Food Systems Option
Topics include food preparation and processing, distribution, nutrition and health, food access and policy.
Sustainable Crop Production Option
Topics include agronomy, crop production, soils, horticulture, pest management, and greenhouse production.
Agroecology Option
Topics include agroecosystem management, environmental policy making, applied ecology, climate change, and current issues at the intersection of agriculture and the environment.
Sustainable Livestock Production Option

Students in all four SFBS options take a core curriculum of six courses designed to provide broad exposure to key principles of sustainable food and bioenergy systems. In addition, coursework in each option is specifically designed to create more detailed and subject-specific knowledge in your area of specialization. Students take complementary coursework in political science, economics, business, Native American studies, and engineering. Two internships allow you to gain exposure to 1) hands-on learning in market garden agronomy and food distribution, and 2) an in-depth internship with an experienced mentor in your chosen career field.
