General information
In accordance with the decision of the meeting of the Academic Council of the North Caucasus Federal University on December 27, 2023, the Faculty of Food Engineering and Biotechnology was renamed the Faculty of Food Engineering and Biotechnology named after Academician A.G. Khramtsov.

However, the history of the Faculty of Food Engineering and Biotechnology dates back to 1968. It was originally established as a branch of the Krasnodar Polytechnic Institute and trained technologists and mechanics for the meat and dairy industries. Later, the branch became the Faculty of Food Production Technology of the Stavropol Polytechnic Institute, and then the Faculty of Food Biotechnology.

Scientific work
Biotechnology and food technology, as well as ensuring food security, are one of the priority scientific areas and a strategic project of the North Caucasus Federal University (approved by Rector's Order No. 1036-O dated 04/02/2018). For the development of this area, the university has created the necessary infrastructure, including specialized departments of applied biotechnology, food technology and engineering, as well as the basic Department of Milk and Dairy Products Technology, research laboratories, and the Center for Biotechnological engineering.
There are 2 scientific schools at the Faculty of Food Engineering and Biotechnology named after Academician A.G. Khramtsov.:
Living systems (scientific supervisor – Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Evdokimov I.A., Grant from the President of the Russian Federation NSH 7510.2010.4 in the field of leading scientific schools in Russia); Factor variability of morphofunctional status and biotechnological aspects of management of a living system in ontogenesis (scientific supervisor – Doctor of Veterinary Sciences, Professor Timchenko L.D.). The faculty has a dissertation council on 24.2.398.07 for the defense of doctoral and candidate theses. The quality of graduate training in various fields and specialties is ensured by a high level of staff.
The Faculty of Food Engineering and Biotechnology named after Academician A.G. Khramtsov has a methodological school "Education in food Technology and Applied Biotechnologies" (moderator: Lodygin A.D., Doctor of Technical Sciences, Academician of the National Academy of Food Safety). Fundamental and applied research in the field of food biotechnology and food safety is carried out at the North Caucasus Federal University as part of the activities of the scientific and pedagogical staff of the scientific school "Living Systems" (head - Evdokimov Ivan Alekseevich - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Vice–President of the Academy of Food Safety), the NCFU strategic project "Food Biotechnology.
Food security". The research work is carried out in conjunction with the priority areas of development of science, technology and engineering of the Russian Federation - "Life Sciences", "Technologies of environmentally sound resource–saving production and processing", "Competitive food products with high nutritional and biological value, with predictable composition and properties of mass consumption and therapeutic and preventive purposes for various age groups and professional groups of the population." The faculty's scientists carry out scientific cooperation with domestic and foreign scientific organizations and manufacturing companies. Faculty internships are conducted at leading Russian and foreign partner universities.

Educational work
Educational work is carried out with students studying at all levels of education defined by the Federal Law "On Education". Youth policy is an integral part of educational work and is carried out in the interests of the development of young professionals studying at the faculty. The purpose of social and educational work is to create conditions for the further development of a spiritual, moral, cultural, educated, harmoniously developed and active personality capable of self–development, self-realization and effective implementation of acquired professional and social qualities to achieve success in life.
The faculty pays special attention to the prevention of offenses and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Students take part in the "Donor Day" every year. A large number of cultural events and competitions are held with the support of student activists, among them the already traditional "Student Spring", "International Student Day", "KVN", "Creative Debut". It is traditional to hold a professional holiday - "Food Industry Workers' Day".
Scientific and practical conferences are held annually with the participation of students, in which students demonstrate the results of their scientific and research activities. The faculty has a Board of Curators. Curators throughout the year conduct thematic curatorial hours aimed at fostering patriotism and citizenship, tolerance, and countering extremism.
