Food Science Agricultural Chemistry Statement of Purpose

Exploring the Intersection of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry: A Statement of Purpose Surrounded by Fresh Ingredients and Laboratory Tools.

I hope to be selected to attend my first choice for graduate school: the MSC Program in Food Science & Agricultural Chemistry at ____ University in Montreal, Canada. An Indian woman born and raised in Kuwait until the age of 16, I am thus fluent in Arabic and conversant in Middle East as well as Indian issues, especially everything related to food security and agricultural chemistry.

In addition to English and Hindi, I am fluent in both Arabic and French. Arabic was my third language from grades 1- 8 and French my second from grades 9 -12.

I very much appreciate the way that the focus of your program at ____ dovetails perfectly with my own ambitions for both the short and long term, professionally as well as academically. I am a natural for study at ____ because I am fluent in French and I adore Montreal. I appreciate the way that ____ ranks near the top of universities worldwide, with unsurpassed faculty, world class laboratories, and a vast alumni network. With my extensive academic background in the life sciences and the laboratory skills that I have developed as a result of a great deal of perseverance and hard work, I feel confident that I will be able to make important contributions at ____, especially as a result of long hours in the lab and a dogged determination to complete my mission and task at hand. It would be a profound honor for me to give my all as a research assistant to such distinguished faculty members whose research I so very much admire. I especially look forward to staying active in the alumni network for the balance of my career following my graduation from ____.

I Canada, especially Montreal. Thriving on diversity and global perspectives, I am most comfortable where different races and religions live and worship side by side in peace and harmony.  I am particularly well read in the area of Food Safety because it is such a very serious public health concern in one of the world’s most populous countries such as India, with a high birth rate, horrible poverty, and vast challenges in the area of sanitation not to mention health care. The urgency of the matter is accentuated by the fact that Indias has surpassed China as the world’s most populous nation. The challenges of feeding a nation with a geographically dispersed population of more than a billion people are mind boggling.

Millions of children in India have stunted growth due to poor nutrition and many die. Food scandals have plagued India for decades and health and safety issues have these days become a highly visible public concern. Testing and analytical capacity among India’s official food safety monitoring units is woefully inadequate for the management of a supply system that feeds more than a billion people. Food testing laboratories lack adequate equipment and expertise, and the country’s food regulatory bodies lack credibility with the domestic public and international communities and investors. This undermines government efforts to protect citizens against food-borne health threats.

Crafting a statement of purpose for Food Science & Agricultural Chemistry, surrounded by essential elements like fresh produce, chemical formulas, and culinary tools, symbolizing the intersection of science and nutrition.

Child deaths from diarrhea in India are among the highest in the world because not a single city in the country provides clean water that can be consumed from the tap. India is in desperate need of highly qualified and experienced scientists to set out standards and regulate every step of the food supply chain. I wish to be a part of the industry /regulatory body where I can make the most of the expertise that I will gain at ____ to make a positive impact as a Certified Food Scientist. I see myself in the future serving in a senior supervisory role in a food production company while I continue to do research into food safety and agricultural chemistry. I hope to at some point set up my own food testing laboratory to conduct tests for food companies and government agencies.

I thank you for considering my application to Food Science & Agricultural Chemistry at ____.
