Ohemaa Achiaa AGBOLOSOO-MENSAH, Ghana (Promotion 3)
« I Studied for my bachelor, agriculture : crop science, animal science, social science, economics and horticulture.
After my bachelor, I decided to be more specific and to move in just one direction. I decided to focus on organic agriculture, but during my research for my master, I thought there was something more than organic wich is called sustainability, bringing me to study the all food systems.
For my third semester, I am studying at ISARA, in France. Last week, we visited Italy, Parm and Torino, meeting big industrial companies like Lavazza and ham industry. Very interesting because it was an opportunity to do the link with what I had studied on food quality, from production to consumers. I could meet industry’s players, ask questions and put my knowledge into practice.
I was happy to have knowledge in pur agriculture and move on sustainability and undestand food indutries and see what goes on in there. »

I travelled a lot with this master, and with Isara we went to Italy for the course, Sustainable development in Food Industries. It was great, we all know that Italy has a really long history regarding food culture.
