<div style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I'm not sure how "alternative" what you're talking about is. In the US, ar least, food science is a recognized discipline. Graduates generally end up working for commercial food conglomerates working

 on the newest potato chip (crisp) flavor.<br>

While you"re likely interested in much less commercial applications of the degree, I think the core academic programs are already established.<br>
