Food Science concerns everything having to do with the way humans provide, obtain and prepare food. As such, it encompasses a wide range of disciplines, from the growing of agricultural products and the maintaining of domestic animals, to the actual cooking of food. It can be considered a subdivision of Agricultural Science.
This naturally means that, as with many subjects of human study, some Food Science topics fall into other categories as well.
