Beginning this spring Montana State University will offer a new degree program designed to contribute to the development of bioenergy and a stronger, more secure food system in Montana. The Board of Regents approved the new undergraduate Bachelor of Science program in sustainable food and bioenergy systems (SFBS), and students enrolled in the program will be able to take their first courses in the spring semester. Students who enroll in the program should develop well-rounded knowledge of food and bioenergy systems, as well as practical skills to help them land a variety of jobs including food safety, agricultural biosecurity, rural economic decline and poverty, obesity, loss of indigenous foods, and bioenergy production and improvement.
