Overview

Where Innovation Meets Tradition to Feed the Future
At Lupane State University’s Food Science and Technology Department, we are driven by one bold vision: to become Southern Africa’s leading hub of excellence in food science research and innovation. From unlocking the hidden potential of indigenous crops to developing safe, nutritious, and value-added food products, our department is pioneering solutions that transform communities and build resilient food systems.


We don’t just study food — we reimagine it.


Join us as we blend cutting-edge technology with local knowledge to power the next generation of food scientists, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. Together, we are shaping a healthier, more sustainable future — one discovery at a time.


Our Food, Our Heritage, Our Future.
