Cornell University's Master of Public Health program

Cornell University's Master of Public Health program, through a one-of-a-kind MPH concentration in Food Systems and Health, brings the study of food systems and security to a new level by anchoring it in public health practice and connecting the health of our food sources—plants and animals—to the health of human populations. Students learn how to engage local and global communities with a systems approach to assess and coordinate policies or interventions, from a One Health approach, that ensure safe and sustainable land use that positively impacts food production, storage, processing, delivery, and consumption. This will include training in toxicology, food safety, food and water security, and nutrition. Cornell's MPH program is founded on the "Planetary Health" paradigm which focuses on the multiple types of relationships connecting humans, animals, and the environment. This paradigm recognizes that we must take a trans-disciplinary approach to public health issues, encourages us to draw from the best practices of complementary disciplines, and allows us to look beyond traditional human health models.
