A leading academic and research hub for food, nutrition & bio-engineering.
The School sits at the intersection of agriculture, food science, nutrition, engineering, innovation and public health — training professionals and advancing research that responds to national and global needs.
Training professionals. Advancing research. Serving communities.
The School of Food Technology, Nutrition & Bio-Engineering trains professionals in food science, nutrition, processing technology, food safety, quality assurance and product innovation. Its work contributes directly to national priorities in agro-industrialization, nutrition, public health, enterprise development and food security.
To catalyze development and vitality of the food sub-sector by providing quality teaching, carrying out innovative and demand-driven research, and offering services that respond to national and global needs.
To be the leading institution for academic excellence and innovations in food and nutritional sciences in Africa.
Five priorities guiding the School's next decade.
Deliver rigorous, industry-aligned undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in food, nutrition and bio-engineering.
Advance research that responds to national priorities in food security, nutrition and agro-industrialization.
Translate science into products, processes and start-ups through pilot facilities and industry partnerships.
Serve communities through nutrition programming, food safety outreach and evidence-based policy engagement.
Strengthen laboratories, faculty development and governance to sustain long-term impact.
"Our work sits at the heart of one of Africa's most urgent challenges — how we produce, process and consume food. At SFTNB, we are training the scientists, engineers and nutritionists who will shape that future, and partnering with industry and communities to turn research into real impact."
Whether you are a prospective student, a research collaborator, an industry partner or a policy maker, I invite you to explore the School and join us in building resilient, nutritious and sustainable food systems for Uganda and beyond.
